    A New Solder-less, Spring-Loaded Coax Connector Revolutionizes RF Connectivity

    The landscape of high-speed radio frequency (RF) interconnects is continuously evolving, driven by the need for enhanced performance, simplified assembly, and improved durability. For decades, the Subminiature Push-On (SMP) connector has been a staple in many RF applications. However, a new, solder-less, spring-loaded solution, EZiCoax, offers significant advantages over traditional SMP contacts, particularly in complex, board-to-board architectures.
