Product Description
Corning B003-L33-02 GPPO Male Thread-In Shroud – High-Frequency Coaxial Connector Component
This used Corning B003-L33-02 is a precision GPPO (Grounded Post Push-On) male thread-in shroud, designed for high-frequency applications up to 65 GHz. GPPO connectors are commonly used in microwave test systems, high-speed digital equipment, and aerospace/defense electronics where reliable, blind-mate connections are required .
The full detent design provides positive engagement feedback, and the connector accommodates both radial and axial misalignment with negligible VSWR change . The center-to-center spacing is optimized for high-density applications .
Condition Note: This component is untested and sold as-is. No mating connectors or hardware are included unless specified.
