SuperMini Board-to-Board DC to 67 GHz Connectors

Product catalog summary

Overview: Southwest Microwave, Inc. specializes in high-performance microwave connectors, specifically the SuperMini Board-to-Board connectors that operate from DC to 67 GHz. These connectors are designed for board-to-board stacking applications, offering low VSWR, low insertion loss, high temperature tolerance, and excellent repeatability.

Specifications:

Electrical: Mode free through 67 GHz with a nominal impedance of 50 ohms. The VSWR is 1.13:1 max for half the device under test.
Temperature: Receptacles operate from -55° to +250° C, while bullets operate from -55° to +165° C.
Materials/Construction: Materials and finishes vary by product type. Detailed specifications are available upon request.

Connector Types:

Vertical Mount Jack (Female), Thru-Hole: Available in smooth bore and detent interfaces with specific connector numbers.
Vertical Mount Jack (Female), SMT: Includes smooth bore interface with nailhead and stub registration post options.
End Launch Jack (Female): Smooth bore interface available.

Performance Features:

Optimized for interconnect performance with axial misalignment of .010” and radial misalignment of +/- 10°.
Low mating insertion force allows for increased density of interconnections per board.
Meets MIL-PRF-39102 standards for resistance to corrosion, vibration, mechanical shock, and thermal shock.

Additional Components:

Cable Assemblies and Adapters: Southwest Microwave provides direct solder cable assemblies and adapters for various frequencies.
Test Data: Includes VSWR and S21 (dB) performance metrics for different configurations.

Design Considerations: Performance of surface mount RF connectors is dependent on transition factors such as board thickness, material, and spacing. Customized footprints can be discussed with Southwest Microwave’s design engineers.

SuperMini Board-to-Board DC to 67 GHz Connectors-2

These RF / millimeter wave blind-mate connectors optimize interconnect performance for board-to-board stacking applications. SuperMini Board-to-Board solutions maximize electrical performance of the transmission path between connector and circuit while accommodating axial misalignment of .010” and radial misalignment of +/- 10° via Southwest Microwave’s intelligent bullet and PCB receptacle designs. Available bullets enable board-to-board spacing as close as 3 mm, assuring transmission line dependability for tightly stacked PCBs. Low mating insertion force allows for an increased density of interconnections...
