N Female to SMA Female BH Adapter

Description

The N Female to SMA Female Bulkhead Adapter is a specialized “between-series” RF component designed for mounting directly onto equipment chassis, junction boxes, or wall plates. It features an N-Type Jack (Female) on one side and an SMA Jack (Female) on the other. The SMA side is equipped with a longer threaded body, a mounting nut, and a lock washer, allowing it to be securely fastened through a pre-drilled hole in a panel.

This adapter is essential for engineers and technicians who need to provide a rugged external N-Type interface for internal SMA-based microwave circuits or PCB modules. The bulkhead design ensures that mechanical strain from heavy external N-Type cables is transferred to the chassis rather than delicate internal components. Precision-machined to ensure a constant 50 Ohm impedance, it is constructed with a nickel or tri-metal plated brass body and PTFE (Teflon) insulation, maintaining exceptional signal integrity and low VSWR up to 6 GHz.

Key Technical Advantages

• Secure Panel Integration: The bulkhead hardware allows for a fixed, vibration-proof installation through panels, ensuring the internal and external wiring remain isolated from mechanical stress.

• Rugged External Interface: Provides a durable N-Type connection point on the outside of an enclosure, ideal for frequent mating with heavy outdoor coaxial cables.

• Precision RF Shielding: The solid brass construction and high-quality plating provide a continuous ground path between the connector and the chassis.

• Environmental Sealing: The bulkhead design often includes an O-ring or can be easily gasketed to maintain IP-rated protection for internal electronics.

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

Key Features

• N Female to SMA Female Interface: Consists of an N-Type Jack (with socket) and an SMA Jack (with socket and bulkhead mounting threads).

• Bulkhead Mounting Hardware: Includes a hexagonal nut and lock washer for secure fastening to panels or enclosures.

• Nickel-Plated Brass Construction: Offers superior corrosion resistance and professional-grade durability for both laboratory and field use.

• Premium PTFE Dielectric: Offers high thermal stability and maintains consistent electrical performance across its frequency range.

• Industrial Durability: Rated for at least 500 mating cycles, ensuring long-term reliability in high-traffic test and communication systems.
