PSMP-MSLD-PCT35: Blind-Mate RF Jack for Dense Panel Layouts
It's a through-hole mount part, with a gold-plated brass body and a gold-plated brass center contact. The snap-on fastening with a limited detent means it's meant for moderate-vibration environments where quick connect/disconnect is needed, not a full-lock panel mount. The 480 V rating is high for an RF connector, so it can handle RF power levels where voltage breakdown is a concern.
The 10 GHz max frequency covers L-band, S-band, and most of C-band; if your application runs above 10 GHz, this connector is not the right interface. The PEEK dielectric keeps the insertion loss stable across the band and through the full temperature range, which matters for phase-sensitive links.
Mounting and Termination: Through-Hole with Solder Shield
The shield termination is solder, so you need a soldering iron or reflow for the ground connection; no crimp ring here. The center contact is also solder termination, so the signal pin is soldered directly to the PCB trace. The snap-on mating interface with limited detent means the mating half pushes on and clicks into place, but it's not a threaded or bayonet lock — it'll hold under moderate vibration but isn't rated for high-shock or high-cable-strain applications.
