SMP Jack for 26.5 GHz Blind-Mate Links
The SMP-MSLD-PCS18T: The limited detent feature means the retention force is moderate: it holds the mate firmly during vibration but still allows hand-release for field swaps, unlike a full-detent SMP that needs a tool to disengage.
Surface Mount Assembly and PCB Footprint
The shield termination is solder as well, which means the ground plane connection is direct and low-inductance, important for keeping the impedance transition clean through the launch. No through-hole posts means no drilled holes in the RF trace area, which simplifies the PCB layout for high-frequency designs.
