This product line is rated to work up to 22 GHz, ensuring reliable and high-performance RF solutions.
Board Level Connectors
Amphenol SOCAPEX offers a wide range of board to board (PCB) & board to cable connectors. Our solutions cover different types of technologies using copper and/or fiber optic are proposed as high pin count connector or high speed solutions. Our connectors are designed to meet performances of main standards as MIL-DTL-55302, MIL-DTL-83513 and VITA (either VITA 46 or VITA 66).
Board-to-Board RF Connectors
Amphenol RF offers a variety of board-to-board solutions engineered to maximize radial and axial float, eliminating the need for cables between the boards and simplifying designs to eliminate assembly errors.
Breakaway Plugs and Jacks
Watertight, breakaway connectors are designed to meet severe environmental conditions. They are watertight, with wiping-action contacts that self-clean. Shielded versions are available and termination is either solder or insulation-piercing, which is field installable. Miniature versions are also available.
Bullet Alignment Tool
SV Microwave has the ability to create custom alignment tools that easily solve for radial alignment in multiport board-to-board solutions. This tool can be configured for any number of ports and a variety of RF interfaces like: SMP, SMPM and SMPS and more. Simply mate your desired bullet(s) and multiport together, then place our custom tool over the top to ensure all are perfectly aligned.
