The **W2PA-1DZ-R/N** is a specific part number typically associated with high-performance **RF (Radio Frequency) Connectors**, specifically within the **SMP series**. These components are critical in high-frequency signal transmission systems. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications The following table outlines the primary electronic and physical characteristics of the W2PA-1DZ-R/N: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | SMP Female (Plug/Socket) | | **Impedance** | 50 Ohms | | **Frequency Range** | DC to 40 GHz | | **Interface Style** | Snap-on / Push-on | | **Mounting Type** | PCB Mount / SMT (Surface Mount Technology) | | **Orientation** | Right Angle (indicated by "R") | | **Material** | Gold-plated Beryllium Copper or Brass | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Functions ### High-Frequency Signal Integrity The W2PA-1DZ-R/N is designed to maintain signal integrity at microwave frequencies (up to 40 GHz). It minimizes **Insertion Loss** and **Return Loss (VSWR)**, ensuring that high-speed data or RF signals do not degrade as they pass from the PCB to a cable or another board. ### Blind-Mate Capability As an SMP connector, it features a "snap-on" mechanism. This allows for: * **Self-alignment:** Useful in dense arrays where manual threading (like SMA connectors) is impossible. * **Vibration Resistance:** The mechanical detent ensures a secure electronic connection even in high-vibration environments. ### Board-to-Board Interconnects In electronic assemblies, these parts are often used in a "bullet" configuration, where a male-to-male adapter connects two PCBs equipped with W2PA-1DZ-R/N female connectors. --- ## 3. Common Applications Due to its high frequency ceiling and small form factor, this part is found in: * **Telecommunications:** 5G Base stations and MIMO antenna arrays. * **Aerospace & Defense:** Radar systems and satellite communication modules. * **Test & Measurement:** High-speed oscilloscopes and signal generators. * **Medical:** Imaging equipment requiring high-bandwidth data transfer. --- ## 4. Mechanical Drawing Representation The "R" in the suffix usually denotes a **Right Angle** configuration, which is essential for low-profile electronic enclosures where vertical space is limited. ```text [Connection Point] || _________|| | [Body] | <--- SMT Leads attached to PCB |__________| ```
