Description
The SMA Female RA SMT PCB Mount Connector is an advanced RF interface engineered for high-density automated assembly. Unlike traditional through-hole connectors, this Surface Mount Technology (SMT) version is designed to be soldered directly onto the top layer of a printed circuit board, making it ideal for multi-layer PCB designs where bottom-side clearance is restricted.
Engineered for Modern Wireless Hardware
With its Right-Angle (90°) orientation, this connector allows for a horizontal antenna connection, significantly reducing the vertical profile of your device. This is a critical requirement for slim-line networking equipment, embedded IoT sensors, and compact telecommunication modules. The gold-plated brass body and center contact ensure superior solderability and long-term protection against oxidation in industrial environments.
Key Technical Advantages:
-
Automated Assembly Ready: Designed with a flat surface area for pick-and-place machines and compatible with standard reflow soldering processes.
-
Low-Profile 90° Design: Minimizes the “leverage effect” on the PCB, distributing the mechanical stress of the antenna across the surface pads.
-
High-Frequency Efficiency: Optimized for a stable 50 Ohm impedance from DC to 6 GHz (and up to 12.4 GHz depending on board layout), ensuring maximum signal throughput for Wi-Fi and LTE.
-
Superior EMI Shielding: The SMT ground pad configuration provides a short, direct path to the PCB ground plane, reducing electromagnetic interference and noise.
-
Premium Materials: Utilizes high-purity PTFE (Teflon) insulation to maintain signal integrity and prevent melting during high-temperature soldering.
