Southwest Microwave’s high performance End Launch connectors are designed to provide low VSWR, mode free wideband response to 110 GHz for single-layer and multi-layer printed circuit boards where the high frequency signal is on the top layer. Available in SMA (27 GHz), 2.92 mm (K) (40 GHz), 2.40 mm (50 GHz), 1.85 mm (V), (67 GHz) and 1.0 mm (W) (110 GHz).
Male and female options along with narrow body and bulkhead feed-through. Unique clamping mechanism accommodates board thickness up to .300” (7.62 mm). Robust, reusable and repairable. Multiple launch configurations provide the best possible match to circuit layout. Works on microstrip and grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) designs. Signal-layer microstrip and GCPW test boards available. Soldering the pin to the signal trace is optional.
