SMA
INTRODUCTION
The RADIALL stainless steel SMA connectors have been designed for applications where reliability, durability, robustness and
high frequency are very important.
• Wide rAnge:
The stainless steel SMA range offers cable connectors for both flexible or semi-rigid cables, panel and PCB mount
receptacles, press mount, microstrip, universal, through hole pins and end launch connectors. In series adapters and
between series adapters including PUSH-ON interface are also available.
All our stainless steel SMA connectors can be mated with our commercial (brass) SMA connectors.
• COnvenient 3-PieCe deSign On MOSt COnneCtOrS fOr flexible CAbleS:
- for straight models: single piece body + center contact + outer ferrule,
- for right angle models: single piece body + cap + outer ferrule.
• fASt And reliAble CAble AttAChMent:
The cable connectors can be either fully crimped or soldered/crimped, offering full flexibility for high volume production
with standard manual or pneumatic tooling: fast and reliable.
- the center contact can be either crimped or soldered,
- the outer contact is attached to the cable by crimping a ferrule.
• SiMPle SnAP-in Center COntACt CAPtivAtiOn (fOr full CriMP MOdelS):
The relative position of the center contact into the interface is mechanically guaranteed by the snapping of the insulator
inner shoulder into the groove of the center contact.
This design facilitates the captivation operation in contrast of other designs, requiring 2 insulators to provide contact
retention.
• extended frequenCy SMA dC-27 ghz
Radiall offers an extended frequency SMA range allowing coaxial system operation up to 27 GHz. This series mates with the
standard SMA series and maintains the same mechanical characteristics (part numbers ending with 700, 701 or 702).
• SOlderleSS AttAChMent tO SeMi-rigid CAble
Radiall's SMA crimp connector series offers an exciting alternative
for assembling SMA connectors to semi-rigid cable. The main
advantages of these connectors are: time saving, repeatability
and performance.
