FAQs
What are SMA female crimp connectors used for?
SMA female connectors are used for terminating coaxial cables in RF and microwave signal paths where compact, threaded connectors are required. These connectors are commonly used in wireless communication systems, RF test setups, and general coaxial interconnect applications that operate at higher frequencies. The SMA interface supports consistent mechanical coupling in 50 ohm RF systems through threaded connection methods supporting stable electrical contact during repeated mating cycles.
What cable types are compatible with SMA female crimp connectors?
SMA female crimp connectors support termination to commonly used coaxial cable types such as RG58, RG174, RG188, RG316, and 195-series cables, depending on the connector variant. The crimp-style attachment method accommodates various cable diameters across these standard coaxial cable types used in RF systems.
What materials are used in SMA female crimp connectors?
SMA female crimp connectors are manufactured with brass bodies and nickel plating, along with gold-plated center contacts to support signal continuity. PTFE or TFE dielectric materials are used for insulation in RF environments. The brass body construction with nickel plating provides durability and corrosion resistance, while gold-plated center contacts ensure low-resistance electrical connections in wireless communication systems and RF test setups.
How are SMA female crimp connectors installed?
SMA female crimp connectors are installed by using standard crimp tools for coaxial cable assembly, repair, and field termination. The crimp-style attachment secures both the center contact and cable jacket, providing reliable mechanical and electrical connections. These connectors are designed for terminating RG58, RG174, RG188, RG316, and 195-series cables in field or workshop environments.
What impedance do SMA female crimp connectors support?
SMA female crimp connectors support 50 ohm impedance, ensuring consistent performance in RF and microwave signal paths. This standardized impedance makes them compatible with wireless communication systems, RF test setups, and general coaxial interconnect applications where 50 ohm transmission characteristics are required
What applications use SMA female crimp connectors?
Common applications include coaxial cable installation, coaxial cable repair, cable assembly, and premise wiring. SMA female connectors are commonly used in wireless communication systems, RF test setups, and general coaxial interconnect applications that operate at higher frequencies. These connectors support field termination and cable assembly projects requiring compact, threaded RF connectors for 50 ohm coaxial systems.
What connection method do SMA female crimp connectors use?
SMA female crimp connectors use a threaded connection method, which provides stable electrical contact during repeated mating cycles. The threaded coupling ensures secure mechanical connections in RF and microwave signal paths, supporting reliable mating and unmating in 50 ohm RF systems used for wireless communication installations, RF testing, and coaxial cable assembly applications.
