SMA Connectors Engineered For 0.81MM And 1.32 MM Cable Offer Lasting And Routable RF Solutions

Amphenol RF expands its SMA cable assembly portfolio with options compatible with 0.81 mm and 1.32 mm, offering engineers easily-routable solutions for demanding applications.

Amphenol RF is pleased to introduce new high-performance SMA connectors suited for use with versatile high-frequency 0.81 mm cable or 1.32 mm Double Shielded cable. These SMA plugs feature a threaded coupling mechanism ensuring a secure connection even in rigorous applications. The connectors are tested for up to 500 mating cycles, guaranteeing durability and reliability. The 165°C maximum temperature range ensures unrelenting performance in harsh conditions where temperature resistance is crucial. Supporting up to 9 GHz, the maximum frequency for many micro-coaxial cable types, these connectors support frequencies required for Wi-Fi 7 applications. Preconfigured cable lengths and custom cable assemblies are available upon request.

With a durable gold-plated brass body and contact, SMA connectors are engineered to endure corrosion resistance and provide longevity for any usage. A stainless steel retaining ring holds the PTFE insulator and contact in place, while a silicone gasket ensures a sealed and secure connection. When assembling the connector, the center contact must be soldered and the ferrule crimped with a 0.105” hex crimp. Stripping dimensions for each connector is provided on the product drawings. With high-frequency capabilities, reliability and quality materials, SMA connectors are ideal for demanding applications such as antennas, telecommunications, and military & aerospace.

These SMA plugs join a wide portfolio of SMA connectors designed as off-the-shelf solutions for all RF design projects.
