Molex's SMPM RF blind-mate connectors are designed for high-density computing and communication systems, offering a compact 3.56mm pitch and a DC frequency range up to 65 GHz. This makes them an excellent choice for applications that demand high performance in tight spaces.

According to Darren Schauer, product manager at Molex, "The SMPM RF connector is 30% smaller than a standard SMP connector. Its compact design not only reduces system weight but also enhances frequency performance and offers greater design flexibility in board-to-board blind insertion scenarios." An image of the connector is shown below for reference.

The SMPM RF blind-mate connector meets MIL-PRF-39012 standards, making it suitable for aerospace and defense applications where reliable electrical performance is critical. The blind-plug interface ensures consistent performance even after multiple insertions and removals. It can accommodate radial and axial misalignment of up to 0.25mm during board-to-board operations, ensuring a stable connection every time. The push-in design eliminates the need for tools or threading, simplifying installation and reducing labor costs.

Molex offers SMPM RF blind-mate connectors in custom lengths and multi-port configurations, allowing for flexible integration into a wide variety of board-to-board setups. These connectors are also compatible with Molex’s Temp-Flex™ coaxial microwave cables, enabling cost-effective termination and assembly solutions.

Schauer added, "The high-performance SMPM RF connectors provide our customers with a full range of options that maximize space savings in mission-critical applications. Whether it's for data centers, radar systems, or advanced communication networks, the SMPM series delivers exceptional reliability and performance."
