Times Microwave High Frequency Connectors

Times Microwave high‑frequency connectors are part of Amphenol Military & Aerospace’s comprehensive RF and mmWave portfolio engineered for defense and aerospace communications, sensor, and test systems. They provide precision performance from DC through 110 GHz when mated with Times Microwave Systems’ high‑frequency cables.

Connector Interfaces and Formats

Available interface options include SMP, SMPM, and SMPS precision push‑on series plus 2.92 mm (K), 2.4 mm, 1.85 mm, and 1.0 mm coaxial connectors for continuous broadband operation. These miniature interfaces feature precision blind‑mate alignment and controlled impedance transitions that preserve signal integrity into the mmWave frequency range.

Performance and Construction

• Characteristic impedance: 50 Ω standard coaxial geometry
• Frequency range: DC to 110 GHz depending on series
• Low‑VSWR connector design and tight tolerance geometry
• Rugged metal construction with corrosion‑resistant plating options
• Compatible with Times Microwave semi‑rigid and flexible coaxial assemblies

Integration and Application Scope

These high‑frequency connectors are designed for module‑level and system‑level integration where space and signal performance are critical. Typical mounting styles include cable, board, and adapter variants supporting SOSA/OpenVPX‑aligned hardware. Their consistent return loss and mechanical repeatability make them suitable for calibration interfaces and long‑service defense systems.

Applications

• Radar and electronic warfare RF links
• Satellite communications ground and airborne equipment
• Broadband instrumentation and test channels
• Embedded module interfaces within open‑architecture computing (Times Microwave with SOSA and VITA 67.3 compatibility)

By combining Times Microwave’s cable expertise with precision connector design, these interconnects offer verified broadband impedance stability and ruggedized reliability for mission‑critical RF systems.
