Amphenol RF announced the expansion of our non-magnetic offerings with new SMPM PCB designs. These new connectors are available in the straight jack configuration featuring either full detent of smooth bore retention. They are specifically engineered with non-ferrous metals and alloys. Non-magnetic RF interconnects are essential for applications such as medical equipment, quantum computing components and military/aerospace technology where the presence of magnetic material in the components may cause interference.

These 50 Ω non-magnetic SMPM jacks offer reliable electrical performance up to 26.5 GHz and are engineered with gold-plated, beryllium copper bodies. They are compatible with all existing non-magnetic SMPM bullets for an excellent board-to-board or cable-to-board solution. SMPM connectors utilize the popular snap-on locking mechanism for quick and easy mating and unmating. These parts can be clearly identified by the NM stamp on the body.

Non-magnetic SMPM connectors offer the same features and benefits as traditional SMPM products — misalignment tolerance, reduced footprint, high frequency range and a wide range of configurations. These RF interconnects join a growing portfolio of board-to-board options available as standard off-the-shelf solutions.
