Description
The SMA Female Bulkhead Crimp Connector is a versatile RF component designed for both high-strength mechanical mounting and superior electrical performance. The bulkhead design includes a threaded body, hex nut, and lock washer, allowing it to be securely fastened through a pre-drilled hole in a panel or enclosure. This creates a permanent, grounded external interface for antennas or test equipment.
Optimized for mid-sized flexible cables with an outer diameter of approximately 0.195″ to 0.200″, this connector utilizes a hex-crimp termination method. The 360-degree compression of the outer ferrule ensures maximum pull-strength and a gas-tight seal for the braided shield. Constructed with a gold-plated brass body and high-purity PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it maintains a strict 50 Ohm impedance and low VSWR across frequencies up to 12.4 GHz, making it an essential component for telecommunications, GPS, and industrial wireless systems.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Secure Panel Integration: The bulkhead nut and washer assembly prevent the connector from rotating or loosening, even under heavy torque from mating cables.
-
Broad Cable Compatibility: A single, high-quality design that fits a wide range of popular low-loss cables including LMR200 and RG142.
-
Superior RF Isolation: The 360-degree ferrule crimp provides exceptional EMI/RFI shielding, ensuring minimal signal leakage at the termination point.
-
Maximum Conductivity: High-purity gold plating on the internal contact socket ensures stable signal transmission and resistance to oxidation over time.
-
Rugged Construction: Designed to withstand high-vibration environments and repeated mating cycles (typically rated for >500 cycles).
Key Features
-
Bulkhead Mounting Type: Includes all necessary hardware (nut and washer) for through-panel installation.
-
Standard SMA Female Interface: Features external threads and a gold-plated beryllium copper socket.
-
Premium PTFE Dielectric: Provides high thermal resistance and low signal loss across microwave frequencies.
-
Hex Crimp Termination: Ensures a fast, reliable, and uniform mechanical bond for the cable’s shield and jacket.
-
Industrial Durability: Crafted from gold-plated brass for superior environmental protection and electrical grounding.
