The 500-cycle mating rating is the mechanical endurance before contact wear starts to degrade return loss; for a limited-detent SMP, that cycle life is typical for module-to-cable interfaces that see occasional reconnects rather than daily swap-outs. The gold body finish and gold center contact plating prevent corrosion in humid or lightly corrosive environments and keep passive intermodulation low. ## Board-Mount and Termination Detail This SMP jack mounts into a board-edge cutout and terminates via surface-mount solder pads on the shield legs. The PTFE dielectric supports the wide temperature range and stable impedance up to 26.5 GHz. The single-port configuration is typical for a coaxial launch point on a module edge.","metaTitle":"SMP-MSLD-PCE-5T SMP Jack, 50 Ohm, 26.5 GHz, Board Edge SMT","metaDescription":"SMP-MSLD-PCE-5T SMP jack, male pin, 50 Ohm impedance, rated to 26.5 GHz.
