Micro-coax cables save space for SMA connectors

SMA connectors from Amphenol RF include additional jack configurations designed exclusively for flexible micro-coax cable types to save space in applications where space is limited.

The SMA jack configurations designed for various micro-coax cable types join the company’s portfolio of miniature products. Micro-coax cables allow for additional flexibility and less bulk in designs with space constraints. Ultra-miniature SMA jacks are suitable for applications such as telecommunications and wireless technology, advised Amphenol RF.

The SMA connectors are lightweight and compact and offer reliable RF performance up to 6GHz. The high-strength design and threaded coupling mechanism combat vibration which contributes to secure mating. The SMA jacks are constructed with gold-plated, brass bodies with gold-plated, beryllium copper contacts. The larger back end increases compatibility options for pairing with other connectors, added Amphenol RF.

The additional jack configurations extend the company’s range of RF connectors and cable assemblies designed for, and on, various micro-coax cable types. The high degree of flexibility offered can stabilise the electrical characteristics of the cable even if bent. This allows for more versatility and broad design possibilities, said Amphenol RF.

The company manufactures coaxial connectors for use in radio frequency, microwave, and data transmission system applications. Headquartered in Danbury, Connecticut, USA, Amphenol RF has sales, marketing and manufacturing locations in North America, Asia and Europe.  Standard products include RF connectors, coaxial adapters and RF cable assemblies. Custom engineered products include multi-port ganged interconnect, blind mate and hybrid mixed-signal solutions.
