The SSMB connector is a micro-miniature RF coaxial connector characterized by a 50-ohm impedance and a snap-on coupling mechanism. It is essentially a smaller version of the standard SMB connector, designed to offer the same or better electrical performance in a more compact footprint. This makes it highly suitable for applications where space-saving is critical without compromising signal integrity.
Key Features of the SSMB Connector
Impedance: 50 ohms, ensuring compatibility with most RF systems.
Frequency Range: Operates effectively from DC up to 3 GHz (some manufacturers specify up to 12.4 GHz).
Coupling Mechanism: Snap-on interface for quick and easy installation.
Durability: Rated for a minimum of 500 mating cycles.
Size: Outer interface diameter approximately 2.7 mm, significantly smaller than SMB connectors.
Materials: Typically brass with nickel or gold plating; center contacts made of beryllium copper or phosphor bronze with gold plating.
Environmental Tolerance: Operating temperature range from -65°C to +165°C, with resistance to corrosion, vibration, and mechanical shock.
