The SMD’s unique design brings together highly efficient thermal management materials in a very low weight, low profile, resistance weldable package. They are available in three standard sizes (SMD  5, SMD 1, & SMD 2) but can also be customized to meet your specific requirements.

Hermetic enclosures with leads or I/O’s which extend out the bottom of the enclosure. Plug-in style packages are constructed in two primary configurations…Plug-in Bathtub (PB) style and Plug-in Specials

The most common lids are photo-etched stepped lids. These are flat lids, usually .010”-.015” thick with a photo-etched racetrack between .005”-.008” thick which runs the perimeter of the lid. These lids are designed to be seam welded into place but can also be attached using low temperature soldering or brazing. The tooling is relatively inexpensive and there are many open tools currently available for most package sizes.

Metal Platform Plug-ins (PF) are hermetic plates with leads or I/O’s which extend out the bottom of the enclosure. Platform Plug-in style packages are constructed from a flat piece of metal (usually Kovar or CRS) which is forged using high speed progressive tooling. This tooling yields the highest level of production output in the shortest possible time which ultimately yields the lowest possible costs. Their vertical pin configurations also allow for easy assembly automation and ultimately higher productivity.

• SMPM RF Connector
• SMPS RF Connector

Each connector design is customizable for body length, pins extensions and terminations, and multiport configuration. Solder and weld options for the connector body are also available.
