SMA F 2H panel Mount for RG405/Semi-rigid .086 Cable

Description

The SMA Female 2-Hole Flange Connector for RG405 is a professional-grade RF component designed for secure panel mounting in space-constrained environments. Unlike 4-hole variants, the 2-hole rectangular flange offers a significantly reduced footprint, allowing for higher connector density on equipment chassis and internal bulkheads.

Optimized for RG405 (.086″) semi-rigid cable, this connector utilizes a direct-solder body attachment. The cable’s solid copper outer conductor is soldered 360 degrees directly to the connector body, creating a seamless, gas-tight mechanical and electrical bond. This method ensures superior EMI/RFI shielding and eliminates signal leakage, making it ideal for RF modules, high-speed data transmission, and precision test fixtures operating from DC up to 18 GHz.

Key Technical Advantages

• Compact Space-Saving Design: The 2-hole flange allows for closer vertical or horizontal mounting centers on dense interface panels.

• Direct-Solder Shielding: Provides essentially 100% RF isolation by creating a continuous metal-to-metal bond between the cable jacket and connector.

• Ultra-Low VSWR: Precision-machined internal geometry maintains a strict 50 Ohm impedance, ensuring high signal integrity and minimal insertion loss.

• Anti-Rotation Stability: Once bolted to the chassis, the flange prevents the connector from spinning or loosening during antenna mating, protecting internal solder joints.

• Broad Frequency Range: Maintains exceptional performance across microwave frequencies from DC up to 18 GHz.

Key Features

• 2-Hole Rectangular Flange: Designed for flush mounting on panels using two standard M2 or M2.5 screws.

• Direct-Solder Termination: Custom-bored to fit the .086″ diameter of RG405 and conformable equivalents.

• Premium PTFE (Teflon) Insulator: High-purity dielectric ensures stable electrical performance and high heat resistance during soldering.

• Gold-Plated Beryllium Copper Contact: Ensures low contact resistance and maximum durability for over 500 mating cycles.

• Rugged Construction: Built from gold-plated brass or stainless steel for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance.
