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.
SMPM-XT RF Interconnects
SMPM-XT RF Interconnects are designed to maintain reliable electrical performance even when mechanical tolerances vary. Featuring an extended interface, these SMPM interconnects accommodate a greater degree of axial tolerance, ensuring secure and repeatable board-to-board connections up to 12 GHz. Featuring fixed-length bullets and single, two-, and four-port mating halves.
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.
SMPS Spring Bullets
SV Microwave’s newest spring loaded bullet product line employs an SMPS RF interface to maximize density and high frequency in applications up to 32 GHz. These spring loaded bullets have been designed for repeatable RF performance under all states of compression by solving axial and radial misalignment issues when fully mated.
SMPS VITA 67.3 Gen2
Amphenol SV Microwave’s SMPS VITA 67.3 Gen2 product line is the next evolution of our high-performance RF interconnects for embedded computing systems. Building upon the Gen1 platform, these optimized designs enhance compatibility, reliability, and ease of integration across all port configurations. The Gen2 series allows every port to optimally accept cable or adapter contacts.
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.
Space Attenuators
SV Microwave has developed a line of Select on Test Space Attenuators that are designed to fine tune the RF power levels of microwave circuits in satellites. This product line features SMP Male-to-Male and Male-to-Female configurations that are rated to work through 40 GHz at a variety of attenuation values.
Spaceflight
High-performance connectors that meet the stringent qualifications required for space flight, including the Goddard Space Flight Center S-311 and MIL-DTL-24308 Class M specifications. Our D-Subminiature spaceflight series connectors work well in aviation and space flight applications.
Space ST Connector
A MIL-STD-83522 style connector and strain relief boot are compliant to NASAEEE-INST-002 material guidelines for space applications. The Space ST is an M83522 style variant, which features a higher spring force than commercial ST connectors, allowing it to meet the shock and vibration requirements of MIL-C-83522.
SP Max
The SP Max is specifically designed for power and signal management in military, space, satellite, and commercial air applications. Its slim precision machined shell is available in three sizes with four contact sizes and twenty-one layout options available for versatility.
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.
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.
