Samtec 18GHz to 110GHz RF Interconnect Solutions

Samtec offers complete RF interconnect solutions supporting traditional sub-6 GHz frequencies to 110GHz microwave/millimeter wave frequencies (sub-Terahertz spectrum). Samtec's Precision RF products are those supporting frequencies between 18GHz to 110GHz with precise, repeatable electrical and mechanical results and low VSWR. Interface types include 1mm, 1.35mm, 1.85mm, 2.40mm, 2.92mm, 3.50mm, SSMA, SMA, SMP, SMPM, ganged SMPM, N-Type, and TNCA. These devices are available in end-to-end microwave cable assemblies, phase and amplitude stable high-performance microwave cable assemblies, board connectors, cable connectors, and in-series and between-series adapter options.
