Get to Know  Multi-Functional of BMAM RF Connectors
The BMAM RF microwave connector series is an easy-to-use slide-on/push-on connector with 50 Ohm impedance characteristics for high frequency microwave frequency applications up to 28 GHz.  The BMAM RF microwave connector is a compact connector designed for space-saving, high-precision, and blind-plugging operation. The BMAM product line will be used in a wide range of high tech electronic devices such as aerospace, medical devices, military and consumer electronics.

BMAM RF microwave connectors are available in two design variations for use in mechanical joint design either a fixed design or a floating design. The floating variant provides tolerances for axial or radial misalignment, making it ideal for high vibration applications. The spring mechanism separates the connector interface from the plate housing (flange housing) and allows floating for blind-mate design functionality, hence BMAM is also known as a Micro Miniature Blind-Mate Connector.
