Amphenol RF is pleased to introduce the addition of an end launch plug into its high frequency SMA product line. Like the popular High Frequency SMA End Launch Jacks, this plug offers exceptional VSWR performance up to 26.5 GHz and features an optimized end launch design with traditional slide-on mounting legs. This 50 ohm connector makes an ideal PCB connector solution for high frequency applications.
The High-Frequency SMA End Launch Plug is precision machined with a brass body and beryllium copper contact, both of which are gold plated. It also features a PTFE insulator designed to withstand high temperatures.
Amphenol’s High Frequency SMA End Launch connector series includes through-hole and traditional edge-launch jack options for a variety of PCB thicknesses, in addition to captivated 0.010 and 0.015 in. diameter center contacts that will accommodate different substrate widths. Custom solutions are also available for optimization to customer-specific PCB launches. The High-Frequency SMA End Launch connectors are ideal for use in most microwave filter, cellular and broadband amplifier and wireless infrastructure applications.
