SMA female to female adapter 18GHz VSWR | PRFSMAFF18

The DC to 18 GHz rating lets a single part cover multiple carriers, harmonics and test bands, simplifying bill-of-materials and spares. It also guards against selecting an under-rated part when systems are later upgraded to wider bandwidth.

Tight VSWR of 1.15:1 means lower return loss and a flatter response, so bench measurements stay close to simulation. Stable matching is maintained through repeated connections, keeping results repeatable over the life of the assembly.

A true SMA profile with precise alignment ensures positive, repeatable mating and stable contact resistance. The interface intermates with compliant connectors from other manufacturers, protecting existing cable and instrument investments.

Carefully controlled impedance steps deliver a low-loss, low-reflection transition between interfaces. The result is a dependable interconnect that does not meaningfully alter the signal between cables, modules or instruments.

Tight process control ensures repeatable fit and stable electrical results across production lots. Consistent workmanship reduces field variation and gives engineering teams confidence when qualifying a second source.

The robust construction delivers 500 durable cycles and dependable behavior across -40 to +125 C conditions. Resilient plating and stable contacts keep resistance low even under vibration, thermal cycling and frequent handling.
