PCB Surface Mount connectors are specifically engineered to be soldered directly onto the surface of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). This configuration offers a highly space-efficient solution, integrating the connector within the device's existing layout. The connection is established in congruence with a coplanar waveguide or stripline, facilitating the transmission of an RF signal over the PCB circuitry. As such, these connectors are essential for compact and integrated RF designs where direct signal propagation across the PCB is necessary.
