designed to provide superi-
or electrical and mechani-
cal performance for wireless
communication applica-
tions. The SSMT system
occupies less printed circuit
board (PCB) real estate
than conventional through
hole coaxial connectors. An
innovative microstrip mount-
ing pattern and plug recep-
tacle design ensure reliable
grounding and PCB reten-
tion characteristics. The
SSMT Interconnect System
allows closer pitch/spacing,
standing 3.0 [.118] (fully
mated height) off the board.
The mated SSMT interface
allows 360 degrees of rota-
tion providing maximum
PCB design flexibility. It has
