SMC F RA CRIMP for RG58/RG142/LMR195/LMR200 Cable

Description

The SMC Female Right-Angle (RA) Crimp Connector is a subminiature threaded RF interface designed for mission-critical environments where both mechanical stability and compact cable routing are mandatory. The 90-degree right-angle configuration allows for efficient cable management in shallow equipment racks and tight enclosures, enabling the cable to exit parallel to the bulkhead or chassis. This significantly reduces mechanical strain on the RG58 or LMR200 cable’s minimum bend radius, preserving signal integrity over the life of the installation.

Unlike the snap-on SMB series, the SMC utilizes a threaded coupling mechanism that ensures a constant, semi-permanent mechanical lock. This variant is precision-machined to accommodate the 5mm to 5.5mm outer diameter profile of standard 50-Ohm cables, including high-temperature RG142 and low-loss LMR195/LMR200. It features a high-strength dual-crimp termination for both the center conductor and the outer ferrule. Manufactured with a gold-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it maintains low VSWR and exceptional shielding effectiveness from DC up to 10 GHz.

Key Technical Advantages

• Low-Profile 90° Integration: Minimizes the depth required behind panels and enables high-density port configurations in tight compartments.

• Threaded Vibration Security: The #10-32 threaded interface provides a secure connection that is inherently resistant to decoupling in high-motion environments like avionics and mobile platforms.

• Versatile 50-Ohm Compatibility: Specifically calibrated for the dimensions of RG58 and LMR200-style cables, ensuring a secure mechanical grip and optimized electrical path.

• High-Frequency Range: Engineered to support stable signal transmission up to 10 GHz, making it suitable for microwave, broadband, and high-speed data links.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Premium gold-over-nickel plating on critical contact surfaces ensures low contact resistance and long-term protection against oxidation.
