SSMB Connectors

Subminiature solutions offering high-performance RF connections in compact spaces

Overview

Amphenol RF's SSMB connectors are designed for high-frequency applications where space is limited and performance cannot be compromised. These subminiature connectors utilize a snap-on coupling mechanism, making them easy to mate and unmate while maintaining excellent electrical performance. SSMB connectors offer robust mechanical stability and low reflection, ideal for applications in telecommunications, test and measurement and high-speed data systems.

This series is available in a variety of configurations including straight and right-angle plugs and jacks, PCB mounts and cable connectors. Their compact footprint makes them ideal for use in dense circuit board layouts and compact device designs. As part of Amphenol RF’s extensive connector portfolio, SSMB connectors are engineered to meet the reliability and quality expectations required by RF engineers and designers.
