APPENDIX - SMPX
SMP/SMPM/SMPS Applications
SMP/SMPM/SMPS connectors are designed to perform well, even under misaligned conditions. The image to below
shows how SV Microwave defines radial and axial misalignment.
Radial and axial definitions are per mating interface. It is generally assumed that if a Full Detent interface is used on
one side, the bullet will be contacting the reference plane of the shroud at some point under any condition.

SMP/SMPM/SMPS Applications
SV Microwave also offers spring loaded female cable connectors and adapters. The spring force ensures that the
reference planes will remain fully mated under axial misalignment. Spring loaded interfaces are ideal under conditions
where vibration is expected or tolerance stack-up requires additional axial misalignment. SV Microwave can customize
the spring length to provide the exact amount of axial tolerance needed for any application.
