Cinch Connectivity Solutions' 2.92 mm connector provides an excellent solution for demanding applications requiring high frequency transmission. Although similar to the SMA interface, a smaller internal body diameter (2.92 mm) and air dielectric provide a higher cutoff frequency and other key advantages:
- Precision manufacturing allows superior electrical performance to 40 GHz
- Female contacts have a unique three-slot construction, which enhances connectivity by creating a more rugged connector while reducing the chance of intermittent connections
- Precise assembly tooling assures excellent, repeatable contact, and support bead location on cabled connectors
- Connector mating interface per MIL-STD-348
- Mating interface control provides consistent electrical performance
- The plug connector VSWR is 1.20 max to 40 GHz and a 12 inch SMK plug-to-plug cable assembly performs better than 1.35 VSWR to 40 GHz
- The field replaceable jacks are teamed with a high quality hermetic seal feed through for use in sealed circuit modules
- The 2.92 mm plug interface employs more precise dimensions than an SMA and uses a shorter snub nose male pin such that the connector bodies align before the contacts engage
