Low Cost LRM
Low-cost LRM variation for cost savings from traditional LRMs. Family of connectors designed for Secondary Power Distribution Systems.
Low Profile RF Cable Assemblies
SV Microwave just released a new line of Low Profile RF cable assemblies that incorporate a unique ferrule design that protects the cable from overbending while maintaining a shorter distance from the front of the coupling nut to the back of the cable bend than standard offerings. The ferrule radius prevents the cable's overbending, which can cause defects that can lead to rework.
Low Profile Solderless PCB Edge Launch Connectors
SV’s new low profile RF solderless edge launch connectors are ideal for high frequency PCB applications.
