SMC F RA PCB MOUNT SOLDER

Description

The SMC Female Right-Angle (RA) PCB Mount Solder Connector is a specialized RF interface designed for board-level applications where vertical height is limited and mechanical security is a priority. The 90-degree right-angle configuration allows for horizontal mating, keeping the mated cable assembly parallel to the PCB surface. This profile is essential for high-density stacking of boards or for use in shallow enclosure designs where a vertical connector would interfere with the housing.

Unlike the snap-on SMB series, the SMC interface features a #10-32 threaded coupling mechanism. This ensures a semi-permanent, stable connection that maintains constant contact pressure even under extreme mechanical shock and vibration. The connector is designed for through-hole mounting, featuring precision-machined solder legs that provide a high-strength mechanical bond to the PCB. Manufactured with a high-grade gold-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers exceptional signal integrity and low VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) from DC up to 10 GHz.

Key Technical Advantages

• Low-Profile 90° Design: Minimizes the vertical height requirements of the PCB assembly, enabling slim enclosure designs and efficient multi-board stacking.

• Vibration-Proof Threaded Security: The #10-32 threaded interface prevents accidental decoupling and signal intermittentcy in high-motion environments, such as avionics and mobile platforms.

• Robust Mechanical Stability: The multi-leg through-hole design provides superior structural grounding, protecting the internal RF solder joints from the torque and tension of mated cables.

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

• Superior Thermal Stability: Equipped with a high-grade PTFE dielectric that preserves its internal geometry and electrical properties during wave or hand soldering processes.
