SMB / SMC
Cannon's SMB Snap-on and SMC Screw-on subminiature
coaxial connectors have been specifically engineered for
high performance and high reliability applications in both
military and commercial equipment operating at frequencies
up to 4 GHz (SMB) and 12.4 GHz (SMC).
The Snap-on mating engagement allows a rapid con-
nect/disconnect facility. The Screw-on mating engagement
allows a low VSWR under vibration conditions and a
matched impedance of 50 ohms.
Cannon SMB/SMC connectors are compatible with all
SMB/SMC type connectors conforming with MIL-C-39012, BS
9210, UTE C93 561, UTE C93 562, CECC 22 130 and CECC
22 140.
In addition to this range we also offer FAKRA SMB connec-
tors for automotive applications.

Unless otherwise specified, all connectors feature captivated contacts. When captivated the con-
tacts will withstand 17,8 N (4 lbs.) minimum axial force. CECC 22 130 = 10 N(2.25 lb.)
When properly assembled to the compatible single braided coaxial cable, the retention
