The TE Connectivity 2408022-1 is a between-series coaxial adapter that converts an SSMP plug interface to a coaxial switch plug interface. It is part of the Blind-Mate Coaxial series and is designed for panel-mount applications where a quick, repeatable RF connection is needed between a miniaturized SSMP connector and a larger coaxial switch port.
The adapter uses a male-to-male center contact arrangement — the SSMP end accepts a female SSMP connector, and the coaxial switch end accepts a female coaxial switch connector. The center contact is beryllium copper with gold plating, paired with a PTFE dielectric, which keeps insertion loss stable across the 9 GHz band. The brass body is finished in gold, providing corrosion resistance and consistent RF shielding over the rated 500 mating cycles. Mounting is via a flange on the panel, with a dual fastening system: push-pull for quick blind-mate engagement in dense panel layouts, and threaded for applications where vibration or cable strain could unseat a push-pull-only connection.
