The limited detent feature means the snap-on mating provides a lighter retention force than a full-detent SMP — easier to engage and disengage by hand, but still holds against moderate vibration. ## Limited Detent vs Full Detent — What It Means on the Bench Limited detent is the light-engagement variant of the SMP interface. Where a full-detent SMP requires a tool for disengagement and holds with higher axial pull-off force, the limited detent version mates and unmates by hand. The trade-off is retention: limited detent is rated for applications where the connector pair sees less cable strain or vibration, and where service access requires frequent reconnection. The 500 mating cycle rating on this jack supports repeated connect-disconnect in test fixtures or module swap-out scenarios. Bulk packaging means it ships loose — no tape-and-reel, so plan for manual placement or tube feeding if running a pick-and-place line.","metaTitle":"SMP-FS-LDPCT SMP Jack, Male Pin, 50 Ohm, 12 GHz","metaDescription":"SMP-FS-LDPCT SMP jack, male pin, 50 Ohm, 12 GHz max, limited detent, gold body.
