Introduction
High Performance Microwave Connectors are Microwave Components
Microwave designers take extreme care in the design and development of their circuit and attempt to be very
precise in maintaining impedance control throughout. In many cases this precise control “ends” at the launch
point of their circuit. The product is then handed off to a packaging engineer who is usually concerned with the
mechanical design and not informed regarding what contributes to microwave performance.
Little verification is made to determine whether an impedance controlled transmission line connector and
launch are incorporated. The launch design must be compatible with the circuit geometry (50 ohm line) and
optimized for low reflection losses and low RF leakage over temperature.
The Southwest Microwave connectors are designed and fabricated to guarantee consistent performance of the
end product.
End Launch
Connectors
The supposed economics (price) have a propensity to camouflage true cost effectiveness. When performance
is inconsistent, the user tends to look within the component circuitry to find the problem. Many times, after
extensive hours of probing, a simple change in connector resolves the problem. Unfortunately for the user, the
hours lost were not only costly, but also unnecessary.
Sometimes attempts are made to tune out poor connector performance, but this method has been found to be
a moving target due to the extreme performance variations among lower priced units.
Installation
and Tools
Launch
Accessories
There are many manufacturers who claim conformance to MIL-PRF-39012 and MIL-STD-348 standards without
understanding that electrical performance specification governs. Adhering to only mechanical standards
gives no guarantee that the product will meet the electrical performance requirements. Therefore, the user
becomes responsible to confirm the performance of the product. Unfortunately, because the configurations of
many of the connectors are difficult to test, the user tends to use the products as received, without confirmed
performance.
Adapters
Meeting the mechanical requirements of MIL-PRF-39012 does not confirm that the product will perform to the
electrical specifications. Manufacturers are still required to verify that specified electrical performances are
met. Design latitude is permitted by Military Specifications to allow electrical performance to govern.

Southwest Microwave designs have been purposely engineered with a small protruding boss on flange mount
connectors, which assures 360 degrees of metal-to-metal contact at the required surfaces. Consistent metalto-metal contact is mandatory to achieve good electrical performance. This design is incorporated into all
standard Southwest Microwave connectors.
A microwave system’s performance is as good as its weakest link. The weak link in any system should not be
a low-cost, low performance, coaxial connector. This low cost connector will likely cause excessive tuning,
delivery delays, rejects, and reliability problems.

Standardize on a Single Mounting Accessory Envelope
Southwest Microwave offers a wide variety of flange
mount and thread-in connectors to permit designers to
standardize packaging.
The package type is defined by the flange type and size, and
the pin diameter. With the wide variety of flanges and pin sizes
Southwest Microwave offers, one package design can accommodate
many types of connectors.
For example, designing the package for a 4 hole .500” flange with
a .020” launch pin can accommodate either a 2.40 mm, 2.92 mm,
SMA, N, or a TNC connector.

Super SMA
Connectors
Southwest Microwave’s “Standard SMA” is referred to as “Super SMA.” The Super SMA is a higher
performance field service SMA connector. Super SMA utilizes the basic PTFE dielectric interface
(true SMA) and features low VSWR mode free through 27 GHz and less than -100 dB RF leakage.
The thick outer conductor wall also provides great durability to assure reliability in repeat mating.
They enhance component performance, hence the reference to Super SMA.
Super SMAs are the result of many years of experience in design and test. The Super SMA
interface is in accordance with MIL-STD-348.
• Compensation for socket slot effect, and socket taper
• Center conductor is precisely set and rigidly captured to the outer conductor, which
assures performance consistency from unit to unit. (No barbs or staking are used)
This unique capture method also eliminates the RF leakage path typically present
in lower performance SMAs where holes are drilled through the connector for
injecting epoxy.

Super SMAs are treated as microwave components with verified improved performance over
the RF connectors specified by the basic parameters of MIL-PRF-39012 and MIL-C-83517.
Their improved performance is not achieved just by tighter tolerances, but also by innovations that
compensate for physical parameters that contribute to VSWR and leakage.
These innovations include:

• Precise, matching compensation offsets in the inner and outer conductors and
dielectric, when diameter changes are required.
• Precise metal-to-metal contact, both at the interface and launch, provides <-100 dB
RF leakages through 27 GHz. Grounding is achieved through a slightly protruding metal
contact ring, which is superior to conductive gaskets (typically silver impregnated rubber)
that loose resilience when thermal cycled. This protrusion also insures proper contact to
the component package by compensating for irregular package and flange surfaces.
• The ID of the outer conductor is reduced (3.5 mm for Super SMA plug, 3.9 mm
for Super SMA jack, where the standard SMA is 4.1 mm) and results in thicker walls
for improved durability and 38% increase of bearing surface at the reference plane for
reduced leakage. Another benefit is greater compatibility for mating to 3.5 mm and
2.92 mm test connectors. This design also improves system performance when mated to
a “run of the mill” SMA because the slightly decreased diameters of the Super SMA help
offset the inductance usually occurring at the reference plane.*

Connectors
(see next page)
Single Lot Control: SMI builds to stock in large quantities
so small quantities requiring single lot control of all raw
materials are usually available in stock.
Qualification Testing: SMI can perform most of these
tests in-house and will coordinate with outside labs
for those other tests, such as shock and vibration that
require special equipment. SMI will design and build
the necessary tools to facilitate these tests.

Source Inspections: SMI has hosted many source inspections in coordination with several major space and
hi-rel customers, and is familiar with what is required to
facilitate and streamline them.
Adapters
Source Control Drawings (SCD): SMI has an extensive database of customer source control drawings for
commercial and hi-rel applications. Due to extensive
experience working with SCD’s, SMI is frequently asked
to contribute technical material and assistance in their
creation.
Destructive Physical Analysis (DPA): When DPA is required, SMI works with several quality labs that provide
DPA services. SMI oversees the testing and integrates
the DPA results into the ATR.
End Launch
Connectors
Material Traceability: All material used in connector assemblies has traceability to raw material. This allows
SMI to use any item in stock for space level applications.
2.40 mm
Connectors
Outgassing: All material used in connector assemblies
meet NASA outgassing requirements. (See page 97)
Space Screening: Test plans are generated in accordance with SCD requirements and most tests are
performed in-house. Tests are performed and the results
recorded in accordance with the test plan. The results
are then combined with material certs and lot traceability
information into a document called an Acceptance Test
Report (ATR).

COTS Considerations
SSMA
Connectors
Southwest Microwave uses MIL-PRF-39012 as a reference for interface specifications and test methods. There
are additional tests SMI recommends be performed in
addition to MIL-PRF-39012 to ensure proper performance
during the actual usage of the connectors. The most important of these is thermal shock to ensure the interface
and the electrical performance are stable over the full
temperature range. MIL-PRF-39012 does not require testing after temperature cycling.

Average Power Ratings for Coaxial Connectors
Super SMA
Connectors
High power failure is caused by the generation of heat at the contacting surfaces.
When the contact resistance approaches surface resistance including skin effect, the
ultimate power handling level will be approached. Application results are affected by
heat-sinking of the connector plus the connector’s construction and use of highertemperature materials. Another limiting factor is altitude because of the connector's
increasing inability to dissipate heat as altitude increases. Power derating factors for
temperature and altitude are provided on the following table
Thus, there is not an absolute power handling figure for a connector type. Results may
vary from supplier-to-supplier due to design, materials and manufacturing latitudes
taken by each. Therefore published power ratings are typically conservative.

The following graph summarizes industry acceptable average power rating for a variety
of coaxial connector types. The key characteristic that determines average power
handling capabilities for mated coaxial connectors is its ability to pass high current and
keep heat-rise to a moderate temperature. This heating directly relates to contact
resistance. Contact resistance is a function of contact surface area. Therefore properly
formed center contacts are critical. If connectors are long, then conductor length
resistance may start to dominate. The average power rating decreases with frequency
because the resistive losses increase with frequency.

Extended Power Super SMA
Southwest Microwave’s “Extended Power Super SMA” connectors provide additional
power handling capabilities above most standard SMA connectors because they operate
reliably at higher temperatures (165°C). The temperature rating as specified is the
temperature that the connector will withstand and still meet the electrical specifications.
As a basic guideline, the Extended Power Super SMA will handle an additional
100W average power above what is represented in the following power chart for SMA.
Therefore the recommended maximum power rating for Extended Power Super SMA
connector is 250W CW at Ku-band (12.4–18.0 GHz), at ambient temperature.

When the proper procedure for mating microwave connectors is followed, no rotational
torque is applied to the center conductors.
If the body of either connector is rotated, this
is improper and can apply a rotational torque
to the center conductor. All Southwest Microwave connectors have the center conductor
rigidly captured to the outer housing. The
center conductor captivation is, in most cases,
accomplished with a high temperature plastic
bead. This bead provides high axial retention at extended temperatures, but does not
provide for any rotational resistance. Therefore
proper mating is strongly recommended.

4. Use a torque wrench to apply the
proper torque to complete the mating.
