Radiall SMP-MAX Connectors

Radiall SMP-MAX connector series part numbers start with the R222 prefix

Get the best for less with the new SMP-MAX large misalignment solution. Its patented impedance matching insulator is optimized for a larger operating gap between connectors making it easier for engineers to handle a board-to-board distance tolerance of at least .078” (2.0 mm) without a spring, which is 300% more than the standard SMP. It features a 3° minimum tilt (radial travel) and it has an operating frequency range of DC-6 GHz and a 1.2 max VSWR guaranteed at DC-3 GHz.

GENERAL

Microminiature coaxial connectors
Power up to 300 Watts
Board to board distance misalignment of at least 0.078’’ (2.0 mm)
Tilt (radial misalignment): 3° minimum
1.2 max VSWR at DC - 3 GHz

APPLICATIONS

Broadcast
RF components (filters, amplifiers, ….)
Wireless communications

Of the several RF connectors available for interconnections in wireless remote radio heads, repeaters, base stations, GPS devices, and similar applications, the board-to-board style connector is growing in popularity. The product line has evolved from accommodating limited misalignment to offering the widest tolerances available.

SMP-MAX was introduced by Radiall to provide larger misalignment tolerances than the early version board-to-board connectors like SMP or SMP-spring while offering lower cost.

Featuring an optimized interface, SMP-MAX can work up to 6 GHz board-to-board distance misalignment at least 2.0 mm and radial misalignment 3° minimum.

The SMP-MAX series offers 2 levels of retention provided by the receptacles:
