Question

What connectors come with your connectorized packages?

Answer

Marki Microwave mixers and other devices are available with any combination of female and male connectors (all female connectors are the default catalog configuration unless otherwise specified on the data sheet).  Dash number designators for catalog models are shown below.

  FREQUENCY RANGE COMPATIBILITY PRODUCT LINE TORQUE (LB-INCH/N-CM)  
SMA DC to 26.5 GHz SMA, 2.92mm, K, APC 3.5mm All Standard Products 8/90  
2.92 mm DC to 40 GHz 2.92mm, K, SMA*, APC 3.5mm* All Standard Products 8/90  
2.4 mm DC to 50 GHz 2.4mm, 1.85mm, V All Standard Products 8/90  
1.85 mm DC to 67 GHz 1.85 mm, 2.4 mm*, V* All Standard Products 8/90  
1.0 mm DC to 110GHz -- All Standard Products 4/45  
N DC-18 GHz N Airline Couplers 12/136  
SMC DC-10 GHz SMC Bias Tees (DC line) 3/8  
APC-7 DC-18 GHz APC-7 Directional Couplers, Customs 12/136  
GPO/SMP DC-40 GHz GPO/SMP Custom NA  

SMA connectors are compatible with SMA, WSMA, 3.5 mm, and 2.92 mm. Marki Microwave SMA connectors are useable to 40 GHz. For catalog products, SMA connectors are specified only for ports that function below 26.5 GHz. SMA connectors are durable, suitable for laboratory use.

2.92 mm connectors are compatible with SMA, WSMA, and 3.5 mm connectors. Mode free to 40 GHz, these connectors are useable to 50 GHz. 2.92 mm connectors need to be carefully aligned to avoid damaging the female receptacle. This makes them less suitable for laboratory use.

2.40 mm connectors are compatible with 1.85 mm V-Connectors. Mode free to 50 GHz, these connectors are useable to 65 GHz. The extended mating contact of the 2.40 mm connector is much less susceptible to alignment damage than the 2.92 mm connector, making the 2.40 mm connector more suitable for laboratory use above 26.5 GHz.
