Description
The SMA Male Straight Clamp Connector is a premium RF interface optimized for small-diameter, high-flexibility cables. Unlike standard crimp connectors, this “Clamp” style connector utilizes a threaded compression nut and internal gaskets to secure the cable braid. This allows for a field-serviceable termination that does not require specialized crimping tools, making it ideal for on-site repairs or custom-length cable assemblies.
This connector is perfectly scaled for LMR100, RG174, and RG316 cables. The straight geometry ensures the lowest possible insertion loss by maintaining a linear signal path. Built for durability, the assembly features a high-grade brass body with gold plating and PTFE (Teflon) insulation, ensuring consistent impedance matching and low VSWR up to 12.4 GHz. The internal clamp mechanism provides excellent pull-strength and environmental sealing, protecting the connection against moisture and vibration.
Key Technical Advantages
-
Tool-Free Mechanical Assembly: The clamp-style design allows for secure termination using standard wrenches, eliminating the need for expensive hex-crimp dies.
-
Reusable Termination: Unlike crimp ferrules which are permanent, the clamp mechanism can be disassembled and reinstalled, offering greater flexibility during installation.
-
Precision Thin-Cable Fit: Specifically bored to accommodate the narrow jacket and dielectric dimensions of LMR100 and RG316 without crushing the cable.
-
Enhanced Weather Resistance: The internal compression sleeve provides a tighter seal against the cable jacket compared to standard crimp sleeves.
-
High-Frequency Performance: Designed to support microwave frequencies, delivering stable performance in GPS, Cellular, and RFID applications.
Key Features
-
Standard SMA Male Interface: Features internal threads and a protruding center pin (Plug with Pin).
-
Solderless Braid Attachment: Uses a mechanical clamp/nut system to secure the outer shield for a high-integrity ground path.
-
Gold-Plated Brass Construction: Provides superior electrical conductivity and prevents oxidation in humid environments.
-
High-Grade PTFE Dielectric: Maintains a constant 50 Ohm impedance even under temperature fluctuations.
-
Field Serviceable: Ideal for prototype development and remote site maintenance where crimp tools are unavailable.
