Cable Group ListingSMA SMA Connectors Description SMA is an acronym for SubMiniature version A and was developed in the 1960s. It uses a threaded interface. 50 SMA connectors are semi-precision, subminiature units that provide excellent electrical performance from DC to 18 GHz. These high-per- formance connectors are compact in size and mechanically have outstanding durability. For phase array radar, test equipment, ILS landing systems and other instrumenta- tion using phase matching techniques, these SMA connectors for semi-rigid coaxial cables and the SMA Plug-to-Jack adapter offer a precise and simple means of phase adjustment for microwave devices. Built in accordance with MIL-C-39012 and CECC 22110/111, SMA connectors can be mated with all connectors that meet these interface specifications, regardless of manufacturer. SMA is available both in Standard and Reverse Polarity. Reverse polarity is a keying system accomplished with a reverse interface, and ensures that reverse polarity inter- face connectors do not mate with standard interface connectors. Amphenol accomplish- es this by inserting female contacts into plugs and male contacts into jacks. Features/Benefits Broadband performance DC to 18 GHz with low reflection stainless steel construction and -36 threaded coupling. Brass SMA available in nickel or gold plating which provides approximately 30% cost reduction with 100 mating cycles. Available for .085 and .141 diameter semi-rigid cables and all the standard flexible cables including double shielded RG-316. Phase Adjustable SMA connectors provide ease of mechanical screw adjustments.
