SMP blind-mate receptacle for 0.047" semi-rigid cable, DC to 40 GHz
The TE Connectivity 2406863-1 is an SMP-style blind-mate coaxial receptacle, female socket, designed for cable termination in high-frequency interconnect assemblies. It belongs to the Blind-Mate Coaxial series and terminates specifically to M17/151 (0.047" Semi Rigid) cable via solder on both the shield and center contact. The snap-on fastening provides quick, tool-less mating typical of the SMP interface, which is the standard for compact, high-density RF modules in microwave and millimeter-wave systems. Rated at 50 Ohm impedance with a frequency ceiling of 40 GHz, this receptacle supports wideband signal paths from DC through Ka-band and into the lower V-band. The 175 V voltage rating and -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range suit it for military radar, satellite communications, test equipment, and outdoor telecom backhaul enclosures where the connector sees temperature cycling and moderate vibration. The body and center contact are both beryllium copper with gold plating, giving the contact spring fingers the fatigue resistance needed for blind-mate engagement while maintaining low and stable contact resistance over the rated 100 mating cycles. The dielectric is PTFE, chosen for its stable dielectric constant and low loss up to millimeter-wave frequencies.
Cable fit and termination — M17/151 (0.047" semi-rigid)
This receptacle terminates to M17/151 (0.047" Semi Rigid) cable. Both shield and center contact are solder-terminated.
