SMA connectors are semi-precision,
subminiature devices that provide repeatable electrical
performance from DC to 12.4 GHz with flexible cable.
These devices offer broadband performance with low
reflection and constant 50 ohm impedance. These
|

properties,
along with minimum attenuation and low VSWR have made
the SMA extremely popular in the microwave community.
The SMA design has been broadened to accommodate many
interconnect requirements and is available in pressure
crimp, clamp and solder terminal attachments. SMA design
parameters have incorporated the considerations of balancing
cost, size, weight and performance to yield the best value
in your microwave system. Among typical applications are
components such as dividers, mixers, amplifiers, trimmers
and attenuators. SMA connectors are also used to provide
interconnections from printed circuit board stripliness
to coaxial cable.SMA is available both in Standard and
Reverse Polarity. Reverse polarity is a keying system
accomplished with a reverse interface, and ensures that
reverse polarity interface connectors do not mate with
standard interface connectors. |
