Richardson RFPD Introduces Enhanced Performance SMA Connector Series from Carlisle Interconnect
Technologies
|
January 13, 2012 Press Release
- New EPSMA™ Rated to 27 GHz; Thicker Outer Wall Increases Durability Even with Repeat Matings

January 13, 2011 – LaFox, Illinois: Richardson RFPD, Inc. today announces immediate availability and full design
support capabilities for a series of Enhanced Performance SMA Connectors from Carlisle Interconnect Technologies
("Carlisle IT"). The
EPSMA
(Enhanced Performance) series provides mode free performance to 27 GHz. In addition, the connectors are tuned
to provide ultra low VSWR to 27 GHz (typically 1.15:1). This new product offering consists of field replaceable
styles with industry standard flange configurations and pin sizes. The connectors offer low RF leakage (less than
90 dB), and all interfaces conform to MIL-STD 348. Applications for the Carlisle IT
EPSMA series
include Defense Electronics and Test & Measurement, plus modular amplifiers, power amplifiers, M/W switches,
attenuators and VCOs. Key features of the
EPSMA series
connectors include:- Frequency Range: DC to 27 GHz
- Low VSWR to 27 GHz (1.15:1 max to 27 GHz)
- Thicker Outer Wall
- 2 Hole and 4 Hole Flange Field Replaceable Configurations

- Low RF Leakage: < 90 dB
- Interface Conforms to MIL-STD 348
These enhanced devices differ from standard, "off the shelf" SMAs
in that they offer a higher maximum frequency, a thicker outer wall that increases durability even with repeat
matings, consistently lower VSWR, as well as better performance at the customer level when the connector is
integrated. The lower VSWR means more consistent performance, which in turn reduces labor required in tuning the
products, resulting in lower overall system cost. Common configurations are in stock and available for
immediate delivery. To find more information, or to purchase these products today on the Richardson RFPD website,
please visit

series webpage. The EPSMA series is also available by calling 1-800-737-6937 (within North America); or please

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
