Spring-Loaded Adapters Enhance Connectivity and RF Performance

Offering enhanced performance and connectivity, Pasternack launched a line of spring-loaded adapters, designed for the SMP, SMPM, and SMPS connector series, available in various lengths. The adapters’ low voltage standing wave ratio ensures minimal signal reflection, improving the efficiency of RF systems.

The range of available lengths provides flexibility for various applications and design configurations, with operation across a frequency range from DC to 65 GHz. Performance is guaranteed under compression, for stable connections even under pressure. Eliminating gaps between the adapter and receptacle optimizes RF performance and accommodates tolerance variations within PCBs, providing a stable and reliable connection that ensures optimal signal integrity and efficiency.
