Cannon 50 Ohm Connectors
SSMB / SSMC
This range of 50 ohm microminiature radio frequency
connectors is suitable for both military and commercial
equipment operating at frequencies up to 4 GHz (SSMB)
and 12.4 GHz (SSMC). They provide a choice of Snap-on
(SSMB) or Screw-on (SSMC) and are available for a wide
range of flexible cables.
SSMC connectors are used where a positive mechanical
engagement is required and where space permits the
use of torque wrenches. SSMB connectors are quick
disconnect versions of the SSMC and are used in
applications where limited space prohibits the use of
torque wrenches or when components or modules must
be quickly changed to keep down time to a minimum.
Key Features
• Small size
• Low mass
• Close packing density
• Used in airborne applications
