Samtec has expanded its successful Magnum RF® Ganged, Multi-Port SMPM connector family to include three NEW product options:

1. - low-profile right-angle, ganged SMPM connectors (GPPC-RA-SM)
2. - two-port SMPM connectors for differential pair testing (GPPC-CMM)
3. - low-loss .086″ SMPM cable assemblies (GC86)

If you have plans on attending European Microwave 2024 in Paris, September 24-26, we invite you to stop by Samtec booth #123B and see these products for yourself.

However, for those who aren’t Paris bound, we’ll shine some light and show some love for these new products below.

GPPC-RA-SM​

Low Profile, Right-Angle SMPM Connector

• - Applications: belly-to-belly or mid-board
• - Body height: 3.94 mm (.155″)
• - Cable-to-Board or Board-to-Board
• - Industry’s first low-profile, right-angle multi-port solution to 50 GHz

GPPC-CMM​

Differential Pair Test & Measurement

• - Compression mount, two-port
• - Precision alignment feature for peak performance
• - Saves board real estate (2x savings versus traditional vertical compression connectors)
• - Industry’s first solution of its kind

GC86​

Low-Loss .086″ SMPM Cable Assembly

• - .350” (8.9 mm) min. bend radius
• - Ganged SMPM: .140″ (3.56 mm) pitch
• - Cable-to-Board solution (mates with GPPC)
• - End 2: Ganged SMPM or discrete options
• - Lower insertion loss option for applications requiring longer cable lengths

Samtec’s Magnum RF® ganged, multi-port family of products leverage the performance, density and blind mate advantages of push-on SMPM connectors (to 65 GHz). Doing so enables 40% greater density, less processing time, and better positional alignment when more than one channel is required.

Magnum RF® is ideal for applications where space is limited and a higher operating frequency is required, including 5G/6G, Military/Defense, Radar, and Test & Measurement.
