SMP and SMPM Edge Lock PCB Connectors
SV Microwave’s newly expanded Edge Lock PCB Connector introduces small form, push-on SMP and SMPM connectors. Designed for high-frequency performance up to 65 GHz, these edge launch connectors deliver minimal Insertion Loss and low reflections without burdensome assembly techniques for reflow. Their fixture-less, conical-leg design ensures secure PCB edge retention.
SMP and SMPM Multiport PCB Connectors
SV Microwave’s new two-, four-, and eight-port PCB surface-mount connectors are designed for high-frequency, high-density PCB applications where minimizing crosstalk is essential. Available in SMP, and SMPM RF interface configurations, these connectors deliver reliable performance for demanding designs. Elevate your system’s capabilities today!
SMP and SMPM Spring Bullets
SV Microwave’s SMP and SMPM spring bullets guarantee maximum RF performance by eliminating gaps between the bullet and shroud during gang mating. Additionally, these spring loaded bullets have been designed for repeatable VSWR performance under all states of compression by solving radial misalignment issues when fully mated.
SMP Connector Series
The SMP interface is a subminiature interface in the same scale as MMCX connectors but offers a frequency range of DC to 40 GHz. It is commonly used in miniaturized high frequency coaxial modules and is offered in both push-on and snap-on mating styles.
SMPM/SMPS VITA 67.3 RF Terminations
This line of VITA 67.3 contact terminations prevents RF signals from reflecting back and causing damage to your embedded system. Now available for both SMPM and SMPS series. SV Microwave’s VITA product line is the latest addition to the RF / coaxial section of the VPX platform.
SMP/SMPM Fixed Bullets
SV Microwave offers a complete line of SMP and SMPM fixed bullets in a variety of lengths. Our newest fixed bullets start at a nominal length of .265" for SMP and .188" for SMPM. These additional lengths round out SV's fixed bullet offering and allow a system designer flexibility when integrating a board-to-board RF solution.
Solaris
Solaris is a small, plastic, easy-to-use rectangular connector designed specifically for low and medium power applications. Solaris’ spring-loaded slide lock mechanism is a snap to use - simply push to lock and slide to unlock. The slide lock provides convenient single-handed & tool-less mating, eliminating the Foreign Object Debris (FOD) found in typical screw mount D-Subs.
Solderless Mount Micro-D
This standard Micro-D interface connector is equipped with Amphenol surface mount clip technology. It is fully intermateable with standard M83513 connectors but provides a reduced footprint allowing for increased contact density. It eliminates the need for washing and soldering processes saving time and cost in PCB assembly. It allows for double-sided PCB design for more components.
SSMC Connectors
SSMC connectors are ideal for limited-space applications that require the security of a threaded coupling mechanism. They are best used with semi-rigid cables or miniature flexible cables in demanding applications up to 12.4 GHz.
Standard Density D-Sub
Positronic offers a variety of standard and high-density D-subs, as well as accessories and ComboD-sub connectors. Highly reliable with precision-machined contacts, our connectors meet various industrial and military performance levels for applications from basic power supplies to advanced weapon systems and flight. Explore our design features including package size, contact, and mating variants.
Standoffs
Standoffs were designed with strength, stability, and weight reduction in mind. Our Standoffs are made with PEEK— a very strong, non-conductive/non-corrosive, and lightweight material - designed to replace heavier aluminum. They come with a locking feature for security, are designed with ribs to provide additional strength.
Standoffs - ABD031
Standoffs were designed with strength, stability, and weight reduction in mind. ABD031 standoffs are made with black thermoplastic and conform to ABD031 flammability standards. There are two types of these standoffs - Type I has an operating temperature range of -67° to 266° and uses a screw mount; whereas Type II has an operating temperature range of -67° to 185° and uses a tie-down mount.
Starline - Starline Ex
The Star-Line EX® series is certified for use in a Zone 1/2/21/22 hazardous environment. Classified facilities such as petrochemical refineries and land/offshore drilling systems are but a few of the applications for this broad product series. The Star-Line EX® is certified to the latest IECEx, ATEX, UL FM, EN 60079 standards, as well as the current EAC/GOST standards.

Strain Relief Boots
Our Strain Relief Boots provide protection and reinforcement for rugged applications.
SV20 Size 20 D38999 Contacts
SV’s D38999 size 20 pin and socket contacts are compatible with MIL-DTL-38999 Series I, II, III, and IV housings, while the Micro38999 size 20HD pin and socket contacts are designed for MIL-DTL-32689, 2M, and Series 80. This high-frequency solution delivers superior electrical performance up to 40 GHz and is optimized for .047 cable, offering exceptional flexibility for compact packaging applications.
Temper-Grip
New high current technology alternative to our RadSok socket. Temper Grip contacts increase ampacity up to 40%, which increases the value of your system or downsize cable size and space on a panel. Temper-Grip contacts will far outlast the temperature extremes of the standard connectors they can go into.
