Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document provides comprehensive details on Radiall's SMP, SMP-COM, SMPM, and SMP-LOCK™ series connectors, designed for high-frequency applications in sectors like telecommunications, radar, and communication equipment.

SMP Series
The SMP series adheres to MIL STD 348 and DESC specifications, offering three retention levels for male connectors: full detent, limited detent, and smooth bore. Compatible with GPO® connectors, they are ideal for multiport solutions, enhancing alignment control and installation efficiency.

SMP-COM
SMP-COM serves as a cost-effective alternative to standard SMP connectors, optimized for telecom applications up to 12.4 GHz, using brass instead of stainless steel for economic viability.

SMPM Series
The SMPM series is 30% smaller than SMP connectors, designed for very high-frequency applications, meeting MIL STD 348 standards, and offering two retention levels: full detent and smooth bore, with a unique visual identification groove.

General Characteristics
These connectors are small, lightweight, and suitable for blindmate applications, offering excellent vibration and shock performance, and allowing for axial and radial misalignment. Applications include active array antennas, satellite, radar, and high-speed electro-optical devices.

Electrical and Mechanical Characteristics
The connectors have an impedance of 50Ω, operating across various frequency ranges, with SMPM supporting up to 65 GHz. They exhibit low insertion loss and high insulation resistance, designed to withstand vibration, shock, and thermal extremes.

Materials and Plating
Materials include beryllium copper, stainless steel, and brass, with gold plating for certain components to ensure durability and performance.

Components and Assembly
The document details components such as plugs, jacks, receptacles, and adapters, along with specifications, part numbers, and assembly instructions, including packaging and recommended accessories like glass beads for optimal performance.

Specifications

Electrical Characteristics: Impedance of 50Ω, frequency range of DC to 40 GHz, with V.S.W.R. varying by frequency and connector style, and insertion loss calculated as 0.12 √F (F in GHz).
Mechanical Characteristics: Designed for up to 1000 matings, with engagement and separation forces depending on detent type.
Environmental Characteristics: Operating temperature from -65°C to +165°C, tested for vibration, shock, and thermal shock per MIL-STD-202 standards.
Materials and Plating: Made from beryllium copper, stainless steel, and brass, with gold plating for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Assembly Instructions

Recommended soldering with SnAg4 Cu0.5 solder and low residue flux, preheating at 100°C, and maximum soldering temperature of 260°C.
Specific instructions for different connector types, including degreasing, cleaning, and soldering techniques.

Product Range

Lists various part numbers for SMPM and SMP connectors, detailing dimensions, retention types, and finishes.
Adapters available for different series, including SMA and SMA2.9, with specific electrical lengths and configurations.

Additional Features

SMP-LOCK™ connectors highlighted for enhanced retention force and secure locking mechanism, preventing accidental disconnection.

SMP-LOCK™ Connectors
Designed for harsh environments, suitable for applications like airborne radars, avionics, satellites, missiles, UAVs, and UGVs, offering excellent electrical performance with a robust locking feature.

Features & Benefits

Two-step connection with low insertion force and audible click for secure locking.
Locking sleeve provides retention force over 450 N with RG-405 cable.
High-frequency range from DC to 40 GHz.
EMI ring-equipped plugs improve RF leakage performance to -92dB at 18 GHz.
Limited detent interface reduces mechanical stress and extends lifecycle.
IP67 rating when mated, ensuring environmental protection.

Specifications

Impedance: 50Ω
Frequency range: DC - 6 GHz (optimized), DC - 12.4 GHz (working range)
Voltage rating: 750 V.R.M.S.
RF leakage: -55 dB (0 to 3 GHz), -40 dB (3 to 6 GHz)
Mechanical endurance: 100 matings
Operating temperature: -55°C to +125°C (standard), -55°C to +105°C (semi-rigid)

Mechanical Characteristics

Engagement and separation forces vary by detent type, with maximum forces ranging from 9 N to 68 N.
Radial and axial misalignment tolerances specified.
Moisture resistance adheres to MIL-STD-202 method 106.

Materials & Plating

Cable connectors and adapters made from beryllium copper or brass, with NPGR plating.
Insulators made from PTFE/PEEK.

Product Variants

Various plugs and receptacles available, including female plugs for semi-rigid cables and male SMT receptacles.
Adapters and panel receptacles offered with different flange and contact types.

Packaging

Standard packaging includes 100 pieces, with specific part numbers available for different configurations.

Conclusion
SMP-LOCK™ connectors provide reliable and robust solutions for high-frequency applications in demanding environments, focusing on secure connections and ease of use.
