Molex SMP-MAX and SMP-MAX EVO 50Ω RF Connectors

Molex SMP-MAX and SMP-MAX EVO 50Ω RF Connectors are board-to-board and board-to-filter RF connectors with a wide operating frequency range from DC to 10GHz. These subminiature connectors feature push-on and snap coupling options and configurations in both surface mount and through-hole mounting options. High power ratings of up to over 300W at 2.7GHz provide excellent performance for RF amplifiers. Molex SMP-MAX and SMP-MAX EVO 50Ω RF Connectors are suitable for a variety of telecommunications and networking applications, including base stations, radio heads, repeaters, and system modules.
