What are SMP connectors?

16/01/2023 Leon


Subminiature push-on (SMP) connectors are plug-in connectors for applications up to 40 GHz. These connectors are easy to connect and disconnect as they can be pushed against each other to make a connection and pulled apart to open the connection. They don't need to be tightened like most other connectors. The force required to connect or disconnect an SMP connector is called the detent. SMP connectors are available in three different brake systems - full bore, limited bore and smooth bore, with respective levels of engagement/disengagement force. They are available in both push-in and snap-in versions.

 

These connectors can be used in board-to-board systems using floating bullets, which provide a link between mated pairs to compensate for radial and axial misalignment.
