SMP and SMPM Fixed Bullets Are in Stock

SV Microwave has increased its offering of fixed-length SMP and SMPM RF bullets to offer even more sizes to configure a board-to-board connection. As system designs get more complex, the need for smaller form factor, higher density, and higher frequency bullets increases as well. As such, these bullets begin at a nominal length .265" (SMP) and .188" (SMPM). These additional lengths are effective when integrating a board-to-board RF solution.

Anatomy of a Board-to-Board RF Connection

Using RF connectors and bullets, a board-to-board RF connection transmits an RF signal between two parallel RF-printed circuit boards (PCB).
