SMA Male to N Female Adapter

Description

The SMA Male to N Female Adapter is a specialized “between-series” RF component designed to provide a high-reliability transition between the ubiquitous compact SMA standard and the larger, more rugged N-Type interface. It features an SMA Plug (Male) on one side, utilizing a standard fine-threaded coupling nut and center pin, and an N-Type Jack (Female) on the other, which provides a heavy-duty threaded external housing and a high-precision internal socket.

This adapter is indispensable for engineers and technicians who need to connect N-Type male cable assemblies to SMA female ports found on signal generators, small-cell equipment, and microwave components. Its design focuses on maintaining mechanical integrity while transitioning between the precision microwave performance of the SMA series and the mechanical robustness of the N-Type series. Constructed with a heavy-duty nickel-plated brass body and PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it ensures exceptional signal integrity and low VSWR up to 11 GHz, making it ideal for both laboratory measurements and permanent infrastructure deployments.

Key Technical Advantages

• Cross-Series Interoperability: Enables the direct connection of rugged N-Type cables to high-precision SMA instrumentation without the need for complex cable jumpers.

• Superior RF Shielding: The solid brass construction and high-quality plating provide a continuous ground path, ensuring maximum protection against EMI and RFI interference.

• Rugged Mechanical Stability: The durable housing is designed to handle the mechanical stress and torque associated with transitioning between different coaxial connector scales.

• Precision-Machined Threads: Features high-quality threading on both interfaces to ensure smooth, secure connections and prevent port damage during high-frequency use.

• Maximum Conductivity: High-purity gold or silver plating on the internal center contact pin and socket ensures ultra-low contact resistance and superior protection against oxidation.

Key Features

• SMA Male to N Female Interface: Consists of an SMA Plug (with pin and hex coupling nut) and an N-Type Jack (with socket and external threads).

• Nickel-Plated Brass Construction: Offers superior corrosion resistance and professional-grade durability for indoor and outdoor RF environments.

• Premium PTFE Dielectric: Provides high thermal stability and maintains a constant dielectric constant across its operating frequency range.

• Industrial Durability: Rated for at least 500 mating cycles, ensuring long-term reliability in laboratory, industrial, and field settings.

• Precision 50 Ohm Match: Specifically engineered to match standard high-performance wireless communication and microwave test instrumentation.
