2.4mm End Launch RF Connectors up to 50GHz
Southwest Microwave 1492 & 1493 Series – Full Model List & Specifications
For high-frequency RF and microwave applications beyond 40GHz, 2.4mm connectors provide superior electrical performance, stability, and repeatability.
The 2.4mm end launch connectors from Southwest Microwave are engineered for mode-free operation up to 50GHz, making them ideal for precision test systems, radar, and millimeter-wave applications.
What is a 2.4mm End Launch Connector?
A 2.4mm connector is a precision RF interface designed for:
Frequencies up to 50GHz
Excellent return loss and low insertion loss
Stable mechanical interface (non-compatible with SMA for accuracy)
In an end launch configuration, it provides a direct transition from coaxial cable to PCB transmission lines, minimizing signal reflection and loss.
