These connectors are typically used as a pair or set, which is comprised of two connector subassemblies, that have a common mating interface. Generally, a pair contains one floating blind-mate Interface with spring loaded inner/outer contacts and the other is a fixed blind-mate interface with fixed inner/outer contacts.

The Planar Blind-mate series provides thread less connector mating which is useful when mating an array of connectors on one RF module to another array within seconds. Each connector pair will tolerate typically 0.02 per pair radial and axial offset misalignment and still meet all of its electrical specifications.

Most Aeroflex / Weinschel Planar Blind-mates designs conveniently mount on any panel using a standard panel D-hole or most any standardized hole pattern. Extra heavy construction for long life even with mistreatment makes these blind-mate products suitable for panel use U.S. and Foreign Patents pending
