Southwest Microwave, Inc., launches a new range of durable and rugged high-security SMKey Keyed Coax Connectors. The connectors are available in 10 different keyed combinations; each combination is uniquely polarized and includes a non-keyed option.
The coax connectors operate from 3.7 mm DC to 18 GHz and are ideal for use in critical connection applications when mated connector pairs are present. The connectors yield industry low insertion loss, RF leakage and VSWR. They also offer a 360 degree raised grounding ring, a temperature range of -55 to 165 degrees Celsius, mode-free operation through 18 GHz, well-matched impedance, and advanced repeatability.
“By assigning differing key positions for mating pairs within a set, SMKey connectors eliminate the risk of interconnect mismatch. This unique solution ensures reliable protection against the potential for operator error that could otherwise have devastating results in connection-critical applications,” Holger Stuehrmann, Southwest Microwave’s director of sales, said.
