Rated for 500 mating cycles, it handles field-service or test-point duty without wearing out the interface. That means the manufacturer has flagged it for phase-out — it is still available for existing BOM lines, but new projects should select the current-production SMP-MSLD series member. ## SMT Termination and Board Layout Surface-mount termination means the SMP-MSLD-PCS reflows alongside other SMT components — no through-hole vias under the RF launch, which simplifies the PCB stack-up for controlled-impedance traces. The shield termination is solder, so the ground plane connects directly through the footprint pads.","metaTitle":"SMP-MSLD-PCS SMP Receptacle, Male Pin, 50 Ohm, 18 GHz, SMT","metaDescription":"SMP-MSLD-PCS SMP receptacle, male pin, 50 Ohm, DC-18 GHz, 500 mating cycles, Limited Detent, SMT, gold body.

SMP-MSLD-PCS uses the standard SMP snap-on interface per the SMP interface standard. It mates with any SMP plug or jack that follows the same interface geometry, regardless of detent type. The Limited Detent only affects the axial retention force, not the mechanical fit or RF performance."},{"question":"What is the replacement for SMP-MSLD-PCS?","answer":"For new designs, select the current-production member of the SMP-MSLD series. The NRND status means the manufacturer intends to phase this variant out — confirm the exact replacement with Samtec or your distributor before committing a new BOM line."},{"question":"Where can I buy SMP-MSLD-PCS?","answer":"SMP-MSLD-PCS is sourced to order.
