Pasternack announced the release of its new line of spring-loaded adapters made for the SMP, SMPM, and SMPS connector series. The adapters are available in a variety of lengths to improve performance and connectivity.
“The adapters’ low VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) ensures minimal signal reflection and optimizes the efficiency of RF systems. The wide range of available lengths provides flexibility for various applications and design configurations. The adapters operate across a wide frequency range of DC to 65 GHz, making them suitable for high-frequency applications. Their performance is guaranteed under compression, for stable connections even under pressure.”
They get rid of gaps between the adapter and receptacle, optimizing RF performance and supporting tolerance variations within PCBs. By eradicating these gaps, the adapters provide a reliable and stable connection while also ensuring peak signal integrity and efficiency.
“These spring-loaded adapters meet the high demands of modern RF applications, providing reliable and efficient solutions for our customers,” said Senior Product Line Manager Amar Ganwani. “The combination of low VSWR, wide frequency range and guaranteed performance under compression makes them an essential addition to any RF engineer’s toolkit.”
