SAA or 1.0/2.3 M CRIMP for LMR100/RG174/RG316 Cable

Description

The SAA series, universally recognized as the 1.0/2.3 connector, is a high-performance RF interface designed to meet the extreme density requirements of modern telecommunications and broadcast infrastructure. This male (plug) variant is specifically calibrated for micro-diameter cables, including the low-loss LMR100, the flexible RG174, and the high-temperature RG316. The 1.0/2.3 interface offers a significant space-saving advantage over traditional 75-Ohm interfaces, allowing for a much higher concentration of ports on equipment panels and patching modules.

This connector utilizes a high-reliability dual-crimp termination system for both the center conductor and the outer ferrule. This provides a permanent, gas-tight mechanical bond that ensures consistent 75-Ohm impedance and excellent pull-off resistance, crucial for maintaining signal integrity in high-density environments. The interface features a precise push-pull coupling mechanism that ensures a secure electrical connection with a distinct tactile “click” upon mating. Manufactured with a gold-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers superior signal integrity for E1, E3, and DS3 digital transmission circuits, maintaining low return loss up to 3 GHz.

Key Technical Advantages

• Micro-Cable Precision Fit: Specifically engineered for the dimensions of LMR100, RG174, and RG316 (approx. 2.5mm–2.8mm OD), ensuring a seamless electrical transition and minimal signal reflection.

• 75-Ohm System Integrity: Optimized to maintain strict impedance matching for telecommunications standards, preventing data errors and jitter in high-capacity digital circuits.

• Ultra-High Density Footprint: The compact subminiature footprint of the 1.0/2.3 interface is designed for high-port-count hardware where front-panel space is at a premium.

• Rapid Dual-Crimp Assembly: The industrial-grade crimp design for both the center contact and outer sleeve provides maximum pull-off resistance and consistent electrical performance across large-scale deployments.

• Superior Corrosion Protection: Premium gold-over-nickel plating on all critical contact surfaces ensures low contact resistance and long-term durability in professional networking environments.
