SMA PCB Edge Mount Connector | 721881

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 1.3:1 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.

The edge launch / PCB construction provides solid mechanical support and consistent grounding for reliable RF performance. It resists movement under torque and shock, protecting both the signal path and the board or panel it attaches to.

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.

High-grade 1U’ Gold plated Brass, gold-plated beryllium copper contacts combine mechanical strength with low contact resistance and long-term reliability. Carefully selected insulators maintain dielectric properties across the band and temperature range for stable RF results.

The robust construction delivers 500 durable cycles and dependable behavior across -65 to +150 C conditions. Resilient plating and stable contacts keep resistance low even under vibration, thermal cycling and frequent handling.
