The smooth bore feature — a PSMP characteristic — allows the jack to accept a standard SMP plug with a smooth outer diameter, giving the mated pair some axial float to absorb board-stack tolerances without stressing the solder joints. The snap-on fastening locks the pair with a positive detent; 1000 mating cycles of rated life mean this jack can survive multiple board swaps in a test fixture or field-replaceable module without the gold plating wearing through. ## SMT Termination and Board Layout Fit Surface mount termination suits automated assembly lines — the jack reflows alongside other SMT components, eliminating a separate through-hole solder step. The centre contact and shield both terminate via solder, so the RF ground path is established at the board surface. The gold-plated brass body and gold centre contact plating resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance across the 1000-cycle life.","metaTitle":"Amphenol RF PSMP-MSSB-PCS PSMP Jack, 50 Ohm, 10 GHz, SMT","metaDescription":"Amphenol RF PSMP-MSSB-PCS PSMP jack, male pin, 50 Ohm impedance, 10 GHz max frequency, 1000 mating cycles, gold body, SMT termination.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["RF / Coaxial Connectors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Amphenol RF","Series":"-","Package":"Tray","Features":"Smooth Bore","Includes":"-","Impedance":"50Ohm","Body Finish":"Gold","Cable Group":"-","Body Material":"Brass","Housing Color":"Gold","Mating Cycles":"1000","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Connector Type":"Jack, Male Pin","Fastening Type":"Snap-On","Insertion Loss":"-","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"480 V","Connector Style":"PSMP","Frequency - Max":"10 GHz","Number of Ports":"1","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Mounting Feature":"-","Ingress Protection":"-","Shield Termination":"Solder","Base Product Number":"PSMP","Contact Termination":"Solder","Dielectric Material":"Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)","Operating Temperature":"-65°C~165°C","Center Contact Plating":"Gold","Center Contact Material":"Brass"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.7400","stockQuantity":19,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/064c14ead4b0464c90e3ababdc857169.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is PSMP-MSSB-PCS compatible with standard SMP connectors?","answer":"Yes — the PSMP series is designed as a blind-mate variant of SMP. The smooth bore on this jack accepts a standard SMP plug with a smooth outer diameter, giving the mated pair axial float. It will not mate with a standard SMP plug that has a detent groove; the PSMP jack is intended for smooth-bore SMP plugs only."},{"question":"What is the mating cycle life of PSMP-MSSB-PCS?","answer":"Rated for 1000 mating cycles. The gold-plated centre contact and gold body finish keep the contact resistance low across that cycle count, making it suitable for test fixtures or field-replaceable modules that see repeated connect-disconnect."},{"question":"Where can I download the datasheet for PSMP-MSSB-PCS?","answer":"The datasheet is available from the Amphenol RF product page under the PSMP series. It includes the pad layout, recommended PCB footprint, and the derating curve for the 10 GHz frequency ceiling.
