RF Adaptors
RF Adaptors
Samtec offers in-series and between-series precision RF adaptors with well-performing VSWR and insertion loss. Plug-to-plug (male-to-male), jack-to-jack (female-to-female) or plug-to-jack (male-to-female) adaptors are available with threaded or push-on coupling. Interface types include SMPM, 1.00 mm, 1.85 mm, 2.40 mm, 2.92 mm and more to support high-frequency applications to 110 GHz. SMPM-to-SMPM (PRFIA Series) spring-loaded bullet adaptors maintain consistent signal contact in high-vibration applications to ensure excellent performance through the system.
