SMP Adapters
High-frequency, blind-mate solutions for board-to-board and module-to-module applications.
Overview
Amphenol RF's SMP adapters are engineered for use in high-density, high-frequency applications requiring minimal footprint and secure, blind-mate engagement. These versatile interconnects are ideal for scenarios where limited space and misalignment tolerance are critical design concerns. SMP adapters are available in various configurations, including bullet and between-series options, to accommodate complex design requirements.
These adapters support frequencies up to 40 GHz, depending on the configuration, and offer excellent electrical performance. With push-on and snap-on mating styles, SMP adapters simplify connections in RF modules, test environments, and backplane systems while ensuring low reflection and high reliability.
Features and Benefits
- Blind-mateable interface for board-to-board and module-to-module connectivity
- Supports high-frequency operation up to 40 GHz (configuration dependent)
- Compact, lightweight design suitable for space-constrained applications
- Push-on and snap-on options provide design flexibility and ease of use
Applications
- Backplane Interconnects – Enables modular board-to-board RF connections.
- RF Modules – Facilitates high-frequency transitions between system components.
- Test Systems – Supports reliable signal routing in repeatable test setups.
- Defense and Aerospace – Ideal for ruggedized systems requiring high-density RF paths.
