SMA hermetic seal launchers are designed to fit hermetic seals with .012" to .036" pin diameters. Connectors for use with .012" to .018" pins feature an internal body structure that compensates electrically for the stepdown in diameter from the connector interface to the seal outer diameter. These units also incorporate a conductive-elastomer EMI gasket to prevent RF leakage at the interface between the connector flange and the MIC package. Connectors for seals with .020" or .036" pin diameters have straight-though body geometry, and do not use EMI gaskets. Passivated stainless steel body finish is standard for this series.
