SMA M RA CLAMP for LMR100/RG174/RG316 Cable

Description

The SMA Male Right Angle Clamp Connector is a high-reliability RF component designed for applications where cable routing requires a 90-degree turn. The clamp-style termination utilizes a threaded compression nut and internal gaskets to secure the cable jacket and braid, providing a robust mechanical bond that can be disassembled and reused if necessary.

This connector is optimized for thin, high-flexibility cables with an outer diameter of approximately 0.100″ (2.5mm). Constructed with a gold-plated brass body and high-purity PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it maintains a precise 50 Ohm impedance and low VSWR across frequencies up to 12.4 GHz. The right-angle profile significantly reduces stress on the cable at the connection point, protecting the minimum bend radius in compact enclosures or behind-the-panel installations.

Key Technical Advantages

• Field-Installable Design: The clamp mechanism requires only standard wrenches and a soldering iron for the center pin, removing the need for a dedicated ratcheting crimper.

• Reusable Interface: Unlike crimp-style connectors, the clamp assembly can be disassembled, allowing for cable adjustments or connector reuse during prototyping.

• Compact Right-Angle Profile: Minimizes the clearance required behind equipment, making it the standard choice for small wireless modules and IoT devices.

• Broad Sub-Miniature Support: Sized to fit a variety of 50 Ohm thin-profile cables including RG174, RG316, and LMR100.

• High-Grade Plating: Gold-plated internal and external components ensure low signal loss and maximum resistance to environmental corrosion.

Key Features

• 90-Degree Right Angle Body: Reduces mechanical strain on the cable and saves space in high-density RF layouts.

• Threaded Clamp Termination: Provides a high-strength physical connection by compressing the cable shield and jacket against the connector body.

• Standard SMA Male Interface: Features internal threads and a gold-plated center pin for a secure mate with any standard SMA Female jack.

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

• Industrial Durability: Machined from brass and rated for a minimum of 500 mating cycles.
