Description
SMP Bulkhead Connector | Snap-On | Kovar Body
The SMP1FA50-FD0432A/77 is a 50 Ohm SMP straight bulkhead receptacle plug designed for high-frequency RF and microwave applications. Supporting operation from DC to 40 GHz, this connector provides a compact and reliable interconnect solution for systems where space savings, signal integrity, and high-frequency performance are critical. Its bulkhead mounting configuration allows secure integration into advanced electronic assemblies.Engineered for broadband RF performance, the connector features a 50 Ω impedance, VSWR of ≤1.5, and low insertion loss across the operating frequency range. These characteristics help maintain signal quality and support efficient transmission in demanding microwave applications.
The center contact and body are manufactured from Kovar per ASTM F 15-78 with gold plating, while a Corning 7070 glass insulator enhances electrical stability. The snap-lock coupling mechanism supports secure engagement and is rated for a minimum of 100 full-detent mating cycles.
Typical applications include aerospace electronics, defense systems, microwave modules, radar equipment, testing platforms, and high-density RF assemblies.
