PSMP Terminators

PSMP terminators provide a reliable and space-efficient solution for properly ending unused ports or signal paths within RF systems that utilize the PSMP connector series. These 50 ohm terminations ensure optimal impedance matching and low reflection, maintaining signal integrity across demanding environments. The PSMP interface supports high-frequency operation and compact spacing, making it ideal for high-density modular designs where precision and performance are critical.

Engineered to complement Amphenol RF’s PSMP connector line, these terminators offer consistent mechanical and electrical performance across applications that require high-power handling and repeatable connectivity. Their push-on coupling and compact geometry enable easy installation and dependable termination within board-to-board, cable-to-board and blind-mate configurations.

Features and Benefits

• High-frequency performance supporting operation up to 10 GHz for advanced RF systems.
• Compact form factor with minimum board spacing of 12.6 mm allows for dense modular and multi-board assemblies.
• High-power capability up to 200 W at 2.2 GHz for continuous operation in demanding environments.
• 50 ohm impedance provides proper matching and minimizes signal reflection in precision RF circuits.
• Push-on coupling enables blind-mate functionality and simplifies assembly in high-density layouts.
• Durable construction ensures mechanical reliability and long-term performance in field and lab environments.

Key Technical Details
