Southwest Microwave offers a broad family of SSBP multi-coax contacts and Assemblies to address RF and microwave packaging miniaturization and flexibility challenges. These push-on coax contacts simplify interconnections and cabling while offering greater system reliability than the alternative of mating a large array of standard coax connectors. These SSBP coax contacts were designed to fit into standard off-the-shelf MIL-DLT-38999 and MIL-DTL-24308 D-Sub connectors and are interchangeable with standard signal contacts available in 20 HD, 20, 16, 12, and 8 sizes to accommodate a variety of performance requirements.
SSBP-20HD Coax Contact and Assemblies
SSBP-20HD interconnects have the same mating interface as SSBP-20. The SSBP-20HD products are designed to fit within standard “contact cavities” without respect to specific contact arrangements, shell sizes or mating methods involved. Although initial applications are for commercial test equipment, to simplify describing the types of connectors that may be used, MIL-DTL-24308 and MIL-DTL-38999 are used for reference. Both connector standards support 500 mating/unmating cycles, which was used as the basis for this test. SSBP-20HD contacts are installed and removed using the same plastic CIET tools used for the non-coaxial (signal) contacts. The SSBP-20HD assemblies are used in D-Subminiature connectors.
The interface configurations for SSBP-20HD coaxes provide a high level of EMI isolation. The only openings in the outer conductor of a mated pair are extremely narrow longitudinal slots in the socket coax outer conductor interface. The slots are recessed within the outer sleeve and located behind the alignment entry of the socket coax assembly. When mated, a maximum of 0.001 in. annular space exists between the socket coax alignment sleeve entry ID and the OD of the mating SSBP pin coax outer conductor tube.
