Explore the HUADA SSMP-K506 Ultra-Small RF Connector

The SSMP (Subminiature Push-Pin) connector series was designed by Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (CarlisleIT) to enhance the package density of RF/Microwave systems. The SSMP interface is approximately 30% smaller than its predecessor, the SMP connector. It’s like the connector equivalent of a sleek sports car, zipping through the RF landscape. Why does size matter? Because it allows engineers to pack more functionality into tight spaces without compromising performance. Think of it as the TARDIS of connectors—small on the outside, big on capability. The SSMP connector system introduces a floating female-to-female adapter (affectionately known as the “bullet”) for stacking boards equipped with an SSMP male PCB connector. It’s like a cosmic handshake, ensuring seamless connections. Imagine a connector that can handle slight misalignments—like a seasoned dancer gliding through a crowded ballroom. That’s the SSMP. It’s robust, reliable, and built for blindmate interconnects, enduring countless engagement/disengagement cycles without breaking a sweat (or a pin).

Key Features of the SSMP-K506 Connector

Frequency Range: From DC to a whopping 65 GHz. Yes, you read that right—65 GHz! It’s like the Usain Bolt of connectors, sprinting through the electromagnetic spectrum.
Impedance: A rock-solid 50 Ω. No impedance issues here; it’s the connector equivalent of a zen master, maintaining balance in the RF universe.
Blindmateable Configuration: Imagine two connectors finding each other in the dark—a match made in RF heaven. The SSMP-K506 ensures easy mating without precise alignment.
MIL-PRF-39012 Compliant: Military-grade? Check. It meets stringent specs, ensuring reliability even in the heat of battle (or the server room). It’s battle-tested and data-center approved.
Radial/Axial Misalignment Tolerance: Like a forgiving yoga instructor, the SSMP handles slight twists and turns. It’s the connector that says, “Breathe, align, connect.”
Available in flavors: board-mount, field-replaceable, bullets, hermetic, and cable connector. Choose your connector adventure! Custom connectors? Absolutely! Tailor-made to fit your wildest RF dreams.
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage (DWV): A robust 325 Vrms. It laughs in the face of voltage spikes.
Insulation Resistance: A whopping ≥5000 MΩ. It’s like the connector version of Fort Knox—secure and trustworthy.
Force to Engage (Detent Smooth Bore): 6.5 lbs (max). Firm handshake, anyone? The SSMP-K506 knows how to make connections.
Force to Disengage (Detent Smooth Bore): 4 lbs (min). It knows when to let go gracefully.
Radial Misalignment: +/- 0.010 inches. It’s forgiving, like a good friend who doesn’t mind a little wobble.
Axial Misalignment: 0.000/0.010 inches. Precision matters, but the SSMP-K506 is forgiving within limits.
Temperature Range: From icy -55°C to toasty +165°C. It’s chill with extreme climates—like a connector sipping hot cocoa on Everest.
