SMP Plug for RG-405 Semi-Rigid — Right-Angle, 26.5 GHz
The SMP-FR-C07-1 is a right-angle SMP plug, female socket, designed for RG-405 (.086 inch diameter semi-rigid) coaxial cable. The kit includes the connector and an end cap, supplied in bulk packaging. This is a field-serviceable, solder-termination connector used in microwave module interconnects, test ports, and compact RF assemblies where a right-angle launch onto semi-rigid cable is needed.
The 26.5 GHz maximum frequency covers the full Ku-band and into K-band. At 100 mating cycles, this SMP plug is rated for a moderate number of connect-disconnect events — enough for a production test fixture or a module that sees occasional field replacement, but not for daily lab use. Compare this to the 500-cycle rating on the SMP-MSFD-PCE-1 jack, which uses a full detent feature for more positive retention and higher cycle life. The snap-on fastening on this plug is a push-to-mate, pull-to-unmate interface common in blind-mate board-to-board applications where the connector pair self-aligns.
Cable Group and Termination — RG-405 Only
This connector is built specifically for RG-405 (.086 inch semi-rigid) cable. The cable group is listed as RG-405, and the shield termination is solder.
