SMB M RA CRIMP for LMR100/RG174/RG316 Cable

Description

The SMB Male Right-Angle (RA) Crimp Connector is a subminiature RF interface designed specifically for environments where vertical space is limited and cable management is critical. The 90-degree configuration allows for a clean, low-profile cable exit from equipment ports, preventing excessive bending and potential damage to the minimum bend radius of micro-cables such as LMR-100, RG-174, and RG-316.

This connector features a professional crimp termination for both the center conductor and the outer ferrule, ensuring a high-strength mechanical bond and a consistent 50-Ohm impedance. The SMB male (plug) interface utilizes a high-reliability snap-on mating mechanism that provides a secure, vibration-proof connection without the need for threading or torque tools. Manufactured with a gold-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers superior electrical stability and corrosion resistance from DC up to 4 GHz. Its compact footprint and right-angle entry make it an essential component for mobile communication systems, internal PCB-to-chassis routing, and high-vibration industrial sensors.

Key Technical Advantages

• Space-Saving 90° Profile: Ideal for high-density electronic packaging, allowing cables to run parallel to the mounting surface to save space and reduce mechanical strain.

• Precision Micro-Cable Fit: Calibrated to the exact tolerances of LMR-100, RG-174, and RG-316 (approx. 2.5mm–2.8mm OD), ensuring a low VSWR and high shielding effectiveness.

• Vibration-Resistant Snap-On Mating: The snap-on interface ensures a secure “click-lock” connection that is inherently resistant to loosening caused by mechanical vibration or shock.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Premium gold plating on the body and center contact ensures a low-resistance electrical path and prevents oxidation in humid or industrial environments.

• Broadband Signal Integrity: Maintains consistent electrical performance and high conductivity up to 4 GHz for reliable RF and microwave signal transmission.

Key Features

• Interface Type: SMB Male (Plug) with 90° Right-Angle (RA) orientation.

• Mating Mechanism: Snap-on coupling for fast, tool-free installation and removal.

• Cable Compatibility: Optimized for 50-Ohm LMR-100, RG-174, RG-188, and RG-316 coaxial cables.
