SMA M CRIMP for LMR100/RG174/RG316 Cable

Description

The SMA Male Straight Crimp Connector is a high-performance RF component engineered for a wide range of wireless communications and instrumentation. This connector is sized for thin-profile flexible cables with an outer diameter of approximately 0.100″ (2.5mm), ensuring a secure mechanical bond and excellent electrical grounding for small-scale assemblies.

The termination process utilizes a hex-crimp method for the outer ferrule, creating a permanent, 360-degree attachment to the cable braid. This provides high pull-strength and superior shielding against interference. Constructed with a gold-plated brass body and high-purity PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it maintains a consistent 50 Ohm impedance and low VSWR across frequencies up to 12.4 GHz, making it ideal for high-frequency jumpers and internal equipment wiring.

Key Technical Advantages

• Compact RF Integration: The small form factor is perfectly suited for high-density layouts and portable wireless devices.

• Broad Cable Compatibility: A single connector design that accommodates multiple popular thin cables including RG174, RG316, and LMR100.

• High-Strength Crimp Bond: The hex-crimp ferrule provides a vibration-proof attachment that is significantly more reliable than standard solder-only terminations.

• Effective EMI/RFI Shielding: The 360-degree ferrule crimp ensures a continuous ground path, offering excellent protection against signal interference.

• Maximum Conductivity: High-purity gold plating on the center pin and body minimizes signal loss and prevents environmental corrosion over time.

Key Features

• Straight Configuration: Standard plug design for direct cable-to-port connections where space is not restricted.

• Standard SMA Male Interface: Features internal threads and a protruding gold-plated center pin.

• Premium PTFE Dielectric: High-grade insulator ensures thermal stability and low signal attenuation at microwave frequencies.

• 3-Piece Assembly: Includes the main connector body, the center contact pin, and the outer crimp ferrule for efficient installation.

• Mechanical Reliability: Designed to withstand at least 500 mating cycles while maintaining stable electrical performance.
