W. L. Gore & Assoc. has released the GORE 100 Series Connectors, the newest addition to the GORE Blindmate/Push-on Connector family. The connectors are a high-density blindmate, microwave interconnect system offering performance through 100 GHz.

An extension of the SMP and SMPM connector families, the connectors were developed for increased packaging density, low mass and increased performance at higher frequencies. Blindmate interfaces said to be robust, durable and lightweight. A socket-to-socket bullet weighs less than 0.02 g. The connectors accommodate radial and axial misalignment with negligible VSWR change.

“The 100 Series Connector is 35% smaller than the current SMPM connectors,” said Paul Czikora, microwave connector technologist. “They offer increased electrical performance and reduced mechanical footprint, enabling designers to create thinner, lighter, smaller and more cost-effective TR modules, printed circuit boards and power dividers.”
