SMP-MSLD-PCR-1T — 50 Ohm SMP Jack for Dense RF Modules
The Limited Detent feature means the axial retention force during mating is moderate, not the full-detent grip, which suits applications where the connector pair needs to separate under a controlled pull-off force rather than requiring a tool.
What the 26.5 GHz and 500-Cycle Ratings Mean for Your RF Link
The 26.5 GHz frequency ceiling is the 1 dB compression point for the connector interface — above that, the VSWR rises and insertion loss climbs. For a 50 Ohm system, this jack matches standard SMP interface dimensions, so it mates with any SMP female receptacle that also follows the interface standard. The 500 mating cycles come from the gold-on-gold contact interface; the beryllium copper center contact retains its spring force through those cycles. The Limited Detent means the connector slides on and off with less axial force than a full-detent SMP — good for blind-mate board-to-board stacking where you don't want to lever a tool into a tight gap, but not for applications that need the connector to stay mated under high vibration without a secondary lock.
