SMA RF Connectors with Screw Locking for Wireless and Communication Systems

PC Series Circular Connector Types and Specifications

Application Scope and Suitability

SMA connectors are well-suited for RF communication systems, antennas, wireless routers, IoT terminals, automotive electronics, test instruments, and consumer electronic devices. Their threaded interface makes them a reliable choice for fixed installations and equipment that experiences mechanical shock or vibration.

However, they are not ideal for applications requiring frequent, quick disconnect cycles, where a bayonet or push-pull connector would be more practical. For high-frequency performance beyond the SMA's typical range, or for waterproof requirements while mated, verify the specific model's specifications before selection.

Key Selection Criteria and Configuration Notes

To ensure a correct match, consider the following configuration dependencies:

• Gender and interface: Confirm whether a male (plug) or female (socket) version is required for your cable or panel mount.
• Cable preparation: The connector's termination style must match your cable's outer diameter and conductor size.
• Environmental limits: While the brass housing offers durability, confirm the operating temperature range and any IP rating against your installation environment.

For detailed electrical and mechanical values, refer to the Technical Specifications section. Final configuration should be confirmed against your specific cable and application requirements.
