Amphenol SV Microwave QuarterBack SMP and SMPM Connectors
Amphenol SV Microwave QuarterBack SMP and SMPM Connectors feature a quarter-turn bayonet locking mechanism, ensuring low VSWR through 40GHz (SMP) and 65GHz (SMPM). The QuarterBack SMP and SMPM connectors accommodate various female cable options for flexible cables with a diameter of 0.086 or smaller, and all standard SMP/SMPM male connector options are available. These connectors provide lower insertion and extraction forces than standard full-detent SMP and SMPM. The QuarterBack connectors operate within a temperature range from -65°C to +165°C with a minimum of 1000 mating cycles for SMP and a minimum of 500 mating cycles for SMPM connectors. Typical applications include benchtop testing, high-vibration environments, and military and commercial.
