SMZ M RA CRIMP for LMR100/RG174/RG316 Cable

Description

The SMZ Male (Plug) Right-Angle Crimp Connector is a specialized 75-Ohm RF interface designed to provide high-reliability digital signal routing in compact telecommunications environments. Commonly referred to as the BT43 connector, the SMZ series is the 75-Ohm evolution of the SMB design, specifically sized for the rigorous demands of E1, E3, and DS3 digital transmission. The 90-degree right-angle configuration is critical for high-density Digital Distribution Frames (DDF), allowing cables to exit parallel to the equipment faceplate, which significantly reduces the depth required in equipment racks and prevents excessive cable strain.

Precision-machined for the specific geometry of micro-diameter cables like LMR100, RG174, and RG316, this connector utilizes a dual-crimp termination for the outer ferrule and center contact, ensuring an industrial-strength mechanical bond. The snap-on coupling mechanism provides a secure “click-lock” mating, enabling rapid, tool-free installation and removal. Manufactured with a gold-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers exceptional electrical stability and superior shielding effectiveness from DC up to 2 GHz, ensuring data integrity across high-capacity telephony networks.

Key Technical Advantages

• Space-Saving 90° Integration: The right-angle body design enables high-density stacking in shallow chassis and protects micro-cables from exceeding their minimum bend radius.

• 75-Ohm Impedance Precision: Specifically calibrated for telecommunications standards, minimizing return loss and preventing signal reflections in digital telephony circuits.

• Micro-Cable Compatibility: Precision-engineered for the dimensions of LMR100, RG174, and RG316 (approx. 2.5mm–2.8mm OD), ensuring a secure mechanical grip and optimized signal path.

• High-Strength Dual Crimp: The industrial-grade crimp for both the center pin and outer ferrule provides maximum pull-off resistance and superior EMI/RFI protection.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Premium gold-over-nickel plating on critical contact surfaces ensures low contact resistance and long-term durability in professional infrastructure.
