SWC-15VF-E1-WR and SWC-15VM-E1-WR

Rev. 1.1

Description:
Models SWC-15VF-E1-WR and SWC-15VM-E1-WR are end launch(180°) V-Band waveguide to coax panel mount adapters that cover
the frequency range of 50 to 70 GHz. They are designed andmanufactured for panel mount instrumentation applications andallow for an efficient transition between the rectangular waveguideand 1.85 mm (V) coax connector. These adapters are also speciallydesigned to be weather resistant.

Rev. 1.1••

Any foreign objects in the waveguide will cause performance degradation and may damage theadapter.
Proper torque, 8.0 ± 0.15 inch-pounds (0.92 ± 0.05 Nm), should be applied. SAGE Millimeter
torque wrench, model SCH-08008-S1, is highly recommended.
