Latest connectors from Mouser promise big benefits for engineers

Mouser Electronics is now stocking EP-SMA 27 GHz connectors, adaptors and cable assemblies from TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors.

The EP-SMA 27 GHz portfolio provides engineers with increased bandwidth, power and performance that are ideal for 5G, automated test equipment, aerospace and defence, wireless devices and radar.

TE’s EP-SMA 27 GHz portfolio, available from Mouser, “offers low insertion loss, plus exceptional voltage standing wave ratios (VSWR) of <1.15 (max.) for adaptors and <1.20 for cable assemblies”, it is stated.

Same footprint

The EP-SMA 27 GHz components have the same footprint as SMA-6 GHz, 12 GHz and 18 GHz solutions, which means designers can often avoid altering existing layouts to expand frequencies up to 27 GHz or higher-signal SMA performance.

“Using these connectors in an upgrade can provide a cost savings of up to 50% in applications currently using 2.92 mm (40 GHz) or 3.5 mm (33 GHz) products performing at 27 GHz or lower. Additionally, the products’ robust high-quality materials allow up to 500 mating cycles.”
