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

Description

The SAA series, universally known as the 1.0/2.3 connector, is a high-performance RF interface designed to maximize port density in modern telecommunications and broadcast environments. This female (jack) variant is precision-calibrated for micro-diameter cables, including the high-performance LMR100, the flexible RG174, and the high-temperature RG316. The 1.0/2.3 interface is significantly smaller than traditional BNC or SMZ connectors, making it essential for modular exchange equipment where front-panel space is at a premium.

Maintaining a strict 75-Ohm impedance, this connector is vital for ensuring signal transparency in digital telephony circuits (E1, E3, DS3) and professional video applications. It utilizes a high-reliability dual-crimp termination system for both the center pin and the outer ferrule, providing a gas-tight mechanical bond that resists vibration and cable pull-off. The push-pull coupling mechanism ensures a secure electrical connection with a distinct tactile feel, allowing for rapid patching in high-density Digital Distribution Frames (DDF). Manufactured with a gold-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers superior electrical stability and long-term protection against corrosion.

Key Technical Advantages

• Micro-Cable Precision Fit: Specifically engineered for the dimensions of LMR100, RG174, and RG316 (approx. 2.5mm–2.8mm OD), ensuring an optimized mechanical transition and signal path.

• 75-Ohm System Integrity: Specifically calibrated to eliminate impedance mismatches, preventing signal reflections and data errors in high-capacity digital circuits.

• Ultra-High Density Footprint: The compact 1.0/2.3 interface allows for significantly more connections in a smaller panel area compared to standard 75-Ohm interfaces.

• 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.

• 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.
