Hirose has launched a series of MIL compliant coaxial connectors that deliver excellent high frequency performance up to 40 Ghz. The SMP series mmWave connector features a user-friendly push-on lock and is available in wide variations including plug, jack, adapter and terminator. Offering high contact reliability, the SMP Series self-aligns to ensure proper and secure mating.

The SMP series is commonly used in automotive LIDAR systems, optical transmission devices, data transmission measurement, radio communication equipment, and various testing and measuring instruments.

This series is the latest addition to Hirose’s extensive mmWave connector offering, which includes the 2.92 and 2.4 mm product families. The 2.92 mm HK series coaxial connector supports frequencies up to 40 Ghz, while the 2.4 mm H2.4 series connector supports frequencies up 50 Ghz. The broad product offering includes plug, receptacle, attenuators, terminators and adapters. The reusable screw-mounted 2.4 and 2.92 connectors are ideal for use in characterization boards.

“With the new SMP series, Hirose offers a complete mmWave connector product portfolio for high frequency applications. The mmWave products deliver superior RF performance in applications ranging from standard datacom to harsh military environments,” said Bill Kysiak, Product Marketing Manager for Hirose Electric USA.

All Hirose RF connectors are RoHS2 (2015/863) compliant and halogen free.
