Key Features of the HUADA SMP-KB2-1 Connector

The SMP-KB2-1 discrete connector is meticulously engineered for both form and function. Its compact design ensures efficient use of space, making it an excellent choice for applications where real estate is at a premium. But don’t let its size fool you—this connector packs a punch in terms of performance. Here’s what sets it apart: High-Frequency Capability: The SMP-KB2-1 operates in the frequency range of 0 to 40 GHz (with semi-rigid cable), making it suitable for demanding RF and microwave systems. Whether you’re dealing with radar arrays, satellite communication, or high-speed data links, this connector won’t let you down.
Blind Mating Brilliance: Blind mating is a game-changer when it comes to installation speed and convenience. The SMP-KB2-1 excels in this area, allowing connectors to engage without visual alignment. This feature is especially valuable in scenarios where access is limited or where rapid deployment matters.
Axial and Radial Mismatch Tolerance: Picture a densely populated PCB or a tightly packed enclosure. The SMP-KB2-1 thrives in such environments. It can handle slight misalignments in both axial (along the connector axis) and radial (around the connector) directions. This flexibility simplifies assembly and ensures reliable connections.
Vibration Resistance and Versatility: Beyond the lab specs, the SMP-KB2-1 proves its mettle in real-world conditions: Vibration Resilience: In aerospace, defense, and automotive applications, vibrations are a constant challenge. The SMP-KB2-1 remains steadfast, maintaining signal integrity even when subjected to mechanical shocks and vibrations. It’s a connector you can trust in rugged environments.
Materials Matter: The connector’s construction matters. The SMP-KB2-1 typically features beryllium copper contacts and a robust insulator. These materials contribute to its durability and electrical performance.
Applications Galore: From phased array radar systems to 5G infrastructure, the SMP-KB2-1 finds its place. Its versatility extends to military

communication, test equipment, and beyond. Engineers appreciate its adaptability across diverse projects.
