Description
The SMA Female Bulkhead Crimp Connector is a high-performance RF component engineered for through-panel mounting. The bulkhead design allows the connector to be fixed permanently to a chassis, creating a stable external port for antennas or patch cables while protecting internal circuitry from mechanical stress.
This connector is optimized for thin-profile flexible cables with an outer diameter of approximately 0.100″ (2.5mm). It utilizes a hex-crimp method for the outer ferrule, creating a permanent, 360-degree mechanical bond between the cable braid and the connector body. 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, ensuring reliable performance in Wi-Fi, GPS, and cellular applications.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Integrated Panel Mounting: The bulkhead assembly (nut and washer) prevents the connector from moving during cable mating, protecting delicate internal connections.
-
Broad Cable Compatibility: A single design that accommodates multiple popular thin-profile cables like RG174, RG316, and LMR100.
-
High-Strength Crimp Bond: The hex-crimp ferrule provides a vibration-proof attachment superior to solder-only outer terminations in mobile or industrial environments.
-
Effective EMI/RFI Shielding: The 360-degree ferrule crimp ensures a continuous ground path, offering excellent protection against signal interference.
-
Superior Conductivity: High-purity gold plating on the internal socket and body ensures low contact resistance and long-term protection against oxidation.
Key Features
-
Bulkhead Configuration: Includes all necessary hardware (hex nut and lock washer) for secure through-hole installation.
-
Standard SMA Female Interface: Features external threads and a gold-plated beryllium copper socket.
-
Premium PTFE Dielectric: High-grade insulator ensures thermal stability and low signal attenuation at microwave frequencies.
-
3-Piece Assembly: Includes the main bulkhead body, center contact socket, and outer crimp ferrule for efficient installation.
-
Industrial Durability: Machined from brass and rated for a minimum of 500 mating cycles.
