Semi-rigid RF Cable Capabilities
SV Microwave has the ability to build your semi-rigid cable assembly in-house to precisely the dimensions and bend configuration you need. Our advanced CNC cable bender machine results in highly accurate bent configurations with typical tolerances on linear dimensions at ±.030".
Series Five Connectors
The MIL-DTL-38999 series of connectors was born in the 1960’s and Amphenol has continued to innovate new features and capabilities. The new Series Five connector is the next evolutionary step in the impressive D38999 lineage. Combining all of the capabilities of the traditional 38999 style connector in a lighter, smaller, and more compact package to support the military and aerospace industry.
Series II Sockets
SV Microwave’s Series II D38999/2M SMPM and SMPS socket contacts are engineered for use in connector shells requiring Series II socket configurations. Available in Size 12 (SMPM) and 16 (SMPS) for .047" and .085" cable, these contacts feature a shorter body length than Series I, III, and IV socket contacts, due to the lower profile connector shells.
SF-047
The SF-047 is a ruggedized, small-diameter coaxial cable engineered for reliable performance in harsh environments. Ideal for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications, it offers excellent durability, flexibility, and high-frequency signal integrity. Perfect for mission-critical systems requiring compact, lightweight, and robust RF cable solutions in extreme temperature and vibration conditions.
Shielded Edge Launch PCB Connectors
Engineered for environments sensitive to EMI and cross talk, SV Microwave’s new Shielded Multiport connectors deliver outstanding performance with industry-leading isolation and crosstalk suppression—achieving 70 dB min at 30 GHz. This exceptional electrical separation between ports ensures ultra-clean signal transmission, setting a new benchmark compared to traditional coax PCB multiports.
Signal Contacts
Featuring several terminations (Crimp, Solder, PC Tail, Compliant pins), the signal contacts are ideal for MIL-DTL-38999/EN3645/2M, SIM/EN4165, EN2997, ARINC600, or even relay sockets. They're in accordance with the latest standards (European - EN3155)
SIHD
The SIHD connector combines excellent electrical performances with high contact density within a
robust housing, which can withstand extreme environmental conditions. In addition, the lateral displacement capability allows the use of thermal clamps for heat management, as well as a more relaxed positional tolerance on the backplane.
