SMP is a subminiature interface in the same scale as MMCX connector but offers a frequency range of DC to 40GHz. It is commonly used in miniaturized high frequency coaxial modules and is offered in both push-on and snap-on coupling mechanism. The interface is excellent choice for board to board interconnects. For these applications, the interface series offers an interesting solution by utilizing a male connector on each of the PC boards and a female to female adaptor mounted in between to complete the connection. The female adaptor is often called a bullet and is necessary to provide a flexible link between the male connectors. In its snap-on configuration, SMP interface is available in two levels of detent each with different mate and demate forces. The two levels are full detent and limited detent. In board mount applications, the lower levelof detent(limited detent) is typically selected, as it is only required to retain the bullet. Full detent is often used for discreet cable connections where higher forces are desirable.
