SMB Connectors are avail-
able in commercial and
high rel versions. They are
ideally suited for circuit
miniaturization and are
offered in a wide range of
configurations including
plugs, right-angle plugs,
jacks, bulkhead jacks and
adapters, as well as printed
circuit board and solder
jacks.
Termination costs are kept
to a minimum using plugs
and jacks with a crimp cen-
ter contact and hex crimp
outer braid. Both hand held
tooling and pneumatic
bench-mounted tooling is
available. Easily assembled
right-angle plugs have a
hex crimp on the outer
braid ferrule and bifurcated
solder center contacts.
Tyco Electronics’ 75 Ohm BT
43 SMB Connectors feature
unique spring mating with
snap-fit couplings for quick
connect/disconnect. These
connectors are designed
to be intermateable with
75 Ohm SMB MIL-C-39012
connectors. They also fea-
ture reliable dual crimp
cable terminations.
