SMPM/SMPS VITA 67.3 RF Terminations
This line of VITA 67.3 contact terminations prevents RF signals from reflecting back and causing damage to your embedded system. Now available for both SMPM and SMPS series. SV Microwave’s VITA product line is the latest addition to the RF / coaxial section of the VPX platform.
SMP/SMPM Fixed Bullets
SV Microwave offers a complete line of SMP and SMPM fixed bullets in a variety of lengths. Our newest fixed bullets start at a nominal length of .265" for SMP and .188" for SMPM. These additional lengths round out SV's fixed bullet offering and allow a system designer flexibility when integrating a board-to-board RF solution.
SMP Spring Bullets
SV Microwave’s SMP spring bullets guarantee maximum RF performance by eliminating gaps between the bullet and shroud during gang mating. Additionally, these spring-loaded bullets have been designed for repeatable VSWR performance under all states of compression by solving radial misalignment issues when fully mated.
Solaris
Solaris is a small, plastic, easy-to-use rectangular connector designed specifically for low and medium power applications. Solaris’ spring-loaded slide lock mechanism is a snap to use - simply push to lock and slide to unlock. The slide lock provides convenient single-handed & tool-less mating, eliminating the Foreign Object Debris (FOD) found in typical screw mount D-Subs.
Solderless Mount Micro-D
This standard Micro-D interface connector is equipped with Amphenol surface mount clip technology. It is fully intermateable with standard M83513 connectors but provides a reduced footprint allowing for increased contact density. It eliminates the need for washing and soldering processes saving time and cost in PCB assembly. It allows for double-sided PCB design for more components.
Space Attenuators
SV Microwave has developed a line of Select on Test Space Attenuators that are designed to fine tune the RF power levels of microwave circuits in satellites. This product line features SMP Male-to-Male and Male-to-Female configurations that are rated to work through 40 GHz at a variety of attenuation values.
Split-Pair Quadrax Contacts
Overall higher bandwidth than standard CAT5E quadrax - Supports up to 6.5 Gbps per pair. For CAT6A type cable. Enhanced crosstalk performance (compared to standard quadrax) due to compatibility with shielded twisted pair of cables. Can be used for a variety of high-speed applications beyond the current star quadrax design.
Standard Density D-Sub
Positronic offers a variety of standard and high-density D-subs, as well as accessories and ComboD-sub connectors. Highly reliable with precision-machined contacts, our connectors meet various industrial and military performance levels for applications from basic power supplies to advanced weapon systems and flight. Explore our design features including package size, contact, and mating variants.
Strain Relief Boots
Our Strain Relief Boots provide protection and reinforcement for rugged applications.
SuperFlex Ø.047" RF Cable Assemblies
SV Microwave offers fixed-length RF cable assemblies using its extremely pliable SuperFlex Ø.047" cable. SV's SuperFlex product line includes right angle and straight SMP and SMPM connectors for unmatched routing in tight spaces.
This super flexible coax cable is capable of extreme bends, which allow it to fit in tight spaces and route for any application. Available in series: SMP, SMPM and SMA.
SV20 Size 20 D38999 Contacts
SV’s D38999 size 20 pin and socket contacts are compatible with MIL-DTL-38999 Series I, II, III, and IV housings, while the Micro38999 size 20HD pin and socket contacts are designed for MIL-DTL-32689, 2M, and Series 80. This high-frequency solution delivers superior electrical performance up to 40 GHz and is optimized for .047 cable, offering exceptional flexibility for compact packaging applications.
TAC Connectors
TAC Connectors are designed and manufactured to the exacting specifications of MIL-DTL-55116 requirements at half the size of the standard connectors. They are the ideal choice to reduce size and weight and still maintain many of the same performance benefits wherever an M55116 connector is needed on a newly designed system.
TCA Cable Assemblies
Lightweight, low loss, higher temperature, highly flexible cable for avionics and communications up to 12 GHz.
Telephone Plugs and Jacks
Manufacturer and supplier of airborne audio connectors, see MIL-DTL-9177. Our special ruggedized design has been the industry standard on military and commercial helmets and headsets for many years. We offer a number of connector options for different mounting styles, switch functions, and soldier attachments.
Temper-Grip
New high current technology alternative to our RadSok socket. Temper Grip contacts increase ampacity up to 40%, which increases the value of your system or downsize cable size and space on a panel. Temper-Grip contacts will far outlast the temperature extremes of the standard connectors they can go into.
