Waseca, MN Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel group company, (NASDAQ: BELFA and BELFB) and global leader in delivering reliable connectivity solutions, announces the addition of a 45° connector to the SMA series. This type of connector is commonly used in test and measurement applications, semi-conductor testing fixtures, PC board characterization, and networking applications.

Cinch Connectivity Solutions’ 45° PCB mount SMA connector is designed to provide excellent performance up to 18 GHz, with a maximum VSWR of 1.30 up to a frequency of 12 GHz and a VSWR of 1.50 for 12 GHz to 18 GHz frequency. 45° connectors are commonly used for mid- board launch in tight enclosures and board to board applications, where height and width restrictions do not allow for vertical mount or end launch connectors.

For more information on the Johnson SMA connectors, download the Johnson SMA 45° datasheet. The Johnson products are also available through our distributors Digi-Key and Mouser.
