Push-on Connector

Nearly four decades ago, the RF design community was introduced to a new push-on connector that addressed the need for increased electrical performance, quicker installation and greater density in higher frequency applications. This design, commonly known as the sub-miniature push-on (SMP) connector, was built around a blind-mate adapter, or bullet, housed between two PCB or panel-mounted receptacles. The bullet, available in different lengths, tolerated a degree of axial and radial misalignment, or float, while still maintaining transmission integrity.
