Smart Card Connectors
FCI Basics Smart Card connectors are 8- or 16-pin connectors primarily used as full-size smart card readers. These are deployed in health, social security, ID cards, and credit card "chip-and-pin" schemes. These products also account for durability with a very large number of mating cycles.
SMARTSOK
HP connector for applications <60V with smart connection systems. Due to its optimized design, the SMARTSOK connectors can be installed quickly and easily. If necessary the connection can be locked by various solutions.
SMASH
The SMASH connector offers extremely high robustness where signal integrity is required. Based on an
aluminum shell with 1, 2, or 3 bays, the SMASH connector can house up to 450 contacts.
The chevron grid pattern provides high contact density for advanced electronics packaging. The metallic shell is equipped with grounding, guide pins, and keying devices to ensure mechanical reliability.
SMB Connector Series
The SMB interface features a snap-on coupling mechanism and is available in 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm configurations. SMB products offer broadband performance with low reflection DC to 4 GHz and utilize die-cast components on non-critical areas to provide a low-cost solution.
SMC Connector Series
The SMC interface features threaded coupling with 10-32 threads and is available in 50 and 75 Ohm configurations. SMC connectors offer broadband performance with low reflection DC to 10 GHz and are primarily used in telecommunications and instrumentation applications.
SMP and SMPM PCB Connectors
SV has just released a new line of high-density thru-hole and surface mount connectors. These connectors are ideal for high frequency printed circuit board applications where precision is key. Current configurations include male interfaces in the SMP and SMPM series. Take your system to the next level!
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 Connector Series
The SMPM interface is a micro-miniature interface with a frequency range of DC to 65 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. SV Microwave is an associate member of The Open Group and an active participant of the SOSA Electro-mechanical hardware g
SMP, SMPM AND SMPS PCB Surface Mount Connectors
SV Microwave's new line of single port, two-port, and four-port PCB surface mount connectors are ideal for high frequency printed circuit board applications where precision is key. Current interface configurations include SMP, SMPM, and SMPS series. Take your system to the next level!
SMP Spring Bullets
SV Microwave’s SMP 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.
SMZ Connectors
SMZ connector features the 75 ohm impedance and are ideal for instrumentation applications.
SOCAPEX Connector - 19-Pin
The original 19 Pin SOCA connector for a dimmer rack with 19 gold plated contacts, with straight or right-angle split backshell & straight mono piece backshell.
SOFIX® Power Connectors
The SOFIX® front I/O interconnect system is comprised of right-angle headers and cable plugs that are suitable for the distribution of power and signals. The design rules for the SOFIX® family of I/O connectors are derived from the Metral® system (IEC 61076-4-104). The SOFIX® system can be used as a complement to the Metral® backplane connector family or applied as dedicated I/O solution.
SOFIX® Right Angle Board Headers
SOFIX® is a front IO interconnection system comprised of Right Angle headers and cable plugs, suitable for the distribution of power or signal. The design rules for the SOFIX® family of I/O connectors are derived from the Metral® system (IEC 61076-104). The SOFIX® system can be used as a complement to the Metral® backplane connector family or applied as a dedicated I/O solution.
SOFIX® Shielded Cable Connectors
SOFIX® is a front IO interconnection system comprised of Right Angle headers and cable plugs, suitable for the distribution of power or signal. The design rules for the SOFIX® family of I/O connectors are derived from the Metral system (IEC 61076-104). As such, the SOFIX® system can be used as a complement to the Metral® backplane connector family or applied as a dedicated I/O solution.
Solar Connectors
For modern society and industry, energy supply is a key element. A high-performance, reliable connection technology is required. Our solar connectors are ideally suited for connecting solar cables, connection to photovoltaic panels, and for connection to solar inverters.
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.
