SMPM Spring Bullets

SV Microwave’s SMPM spring bullets guarantee maximum RF performance by eliminating gaps between the bullet and shroud during gang mating. Additionally, these spring loaded bullets have been designed for repeatable VSWR performance under all states of compression by solving radial misalignment issues when fully mated.
