Molex Molex BMA Blind-Mate RF Connectors

Molex BMA Blind-Mate RF Connectors are an ideal solution for high-frequency performance rack-and-panel RF applications up to 22GHz and provide misalignment compensation. The connectors feature a subminiature design, similar to SMA in overall size. These BMA Blind-Mate RF Connectors are available in both fixed and float mount versions to allow for rack and panel mount applications where axial and radial float are needed.

The BMA connectors can operate to 18 GHz or above: depending on the configuration and cable selected. Molex BMA design has protected spring contacts that assure reliable, damage-free mating. These connectors can operate in temperature ranging from -65°C to +125°C and their voltage is rated at 500Vrms at sea level. Typical applications include data computing, defense in radar equipment, and telecommunication network.
