RF Adapter for Blind-Mate Coaxial Systems
The TE Connectivity 2408012-1 is a between-series adapter that converts an SSMP plug interface to a coaxial switch plug interface. It belongs to the Blind-Mate Coaxial series and is built for panel-mount installations where a straight-through signal path is required. The 50 Ohm impedance and 9 GHz maximum frequency define its usable bandwidth for RF signal routing. The stainless steel body gives this adapter the mechanical stiffness and corrosion resistance needed for a panel-mounted flange application. Gold-plated beryllium copper centre contacts handle the signal path with a rated 500 mating cycles, which is a solid service life for a blind-mate interconnect that may see periodic disconnect during system maintenance or reconfiguration. The push-pull fastening on the SSMP side and threaded fastening on the coaxial switch side give a secure mate that resists vibration in a panel-mount installation.
