SMP Barrel Adapter for 40 GHz Signal Paths
The SMP-FS2A-860-NM is a straight SMP-to-SMP barrel adapter, configured as a plug-to-plug body with female center contacts on both ends. It belongs to the same-series SMP adapter family — no impedance step or mode conversion, just a straight signal relay through a 50 Ohm path. The adapter is rated to 40 GHz, which puts it at the upper end of the SMP blind-mate interface capability; most SMP connectors top out around 40 GHz, so this part delivers the full frequency range the interface supports.
Non-Magnetic Build for Sensitive Environments
This adapter is explicitly listed as non-magnetic. The beryllium copper body and center contacts, combined with gold plating, mean the entire signal path — outer conductor and center pin — has negligible magnetic susceptibility. That makes the SMP-FS2A-860-NM a practical choice for MRI suite penetrations, particle accelerator instrumentation, or any RF test setup where ferrous materials would distort fields or create safety hazards.
