Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (CarlisleIT) designed the SMPM

Connector product line to further improve package density of

RF/Microwave systems. With an interface about 30% smaller than

its predecessor, the SMPM Connector is now an industry standard

(as outlined in the MIL-STD-348 document) for RF/Microwave

applications and has enabled design engineers to increase

design performance and complexity while improving form factor.

The durable construction and ability to tolerate radial and axial

misalignment allow for a blindmate interconnect solution capable

of withstanding multiple engagement/disengagement cycles

without degradation in electrical performance.

Due to its high-frequency performance and blindmate conguration,

the SMPM Connector is a standard interface in many applications

including:

» Antennas

» Broadband

» Wireless

» Military

» Instrumentation
