More recent value added features include pre-tinning and high density packaging. SV Microwave offers a collection of single and multiport pre-tinned coaxial PCB connectors. Pre-tinning these connectors eliminates the tinning step that is required prior to soldering the connectors to the board. Additionally, pre-tinning prevents rust, corrosion and oxidation and increases the durability of the solder joint. SV Microwave offers edge launch, board mount and through hole variations in 2.92mm, 2.4mm, SMA, SMP, SMPM and SMPS series. Additionally, these connectors are denoted with a “-TD”. Lastly, SV Microwave offers high density packaging through tape and reel. Customers can automate the pick to place assembly process and protect the parts from electro-static discharge (ESD). Amphenol’s packaging allows customers to save time and money while simultaneously protecting the parts during shipping, processing and assembly.
