Description
The SMA Female Bulkhead (BH) Solder Connector is a versatile RF component designed for mounting through panels, enclosure walls, and bulkhead plates. The Bulkhead (BH) design features an external thread and a “D-flat” or knurled shoulder that prevents the connector from rotating once it is secured with the included hex nut and lock washer.
Engineered for Clean Internal Wiring
This connector is equipped with a high-precision solder-cup (or solder-pot) terminal, allowing for a direct, low-resistance connection to internal coaxial pigtails or discrete wires. Its robust mechanical design ensures that the stress of external antenna adjustments is transferred to the device chassis rather than the internal solder joints, making it ideal for ruggedized communication equipment.
Key Technical Advantages:
-
Secure Bulkhead Mounting: The threaded barrel allows the connector to pass through panels, providing a rock-solid mechanical anchor for external antennas or cables.
-
Superior Grounding: The large surface area of the mounting nut and washer ensures an excellent electrical ground to the metal chassis, which is critical for reducing EMI and signal noise.
-
Low VSWR Performance: Precision-machined to maintain a stable 50 Ohm impedance across the DC to 18 GHz range, ensuring minimal signal loss in high-frequency applications.
-
Premium Gold Plating: The high-purity gold finish on the brass body and center contact ensures excellent solderability and long-term protection against oxidation.
-
Weatherproof Potential: When paired with an optional O-ring or gasket, the bulkhead design can provide a moisture-resistant seal for outdoor RF enclosures.
