Molex SMA Connectors
Molex SMA RF Connectors are high-performance subminiature connectors for microwave frequencies. The SMA RF connectors come with a threaded coupling that ensures uniform contact with the outer conductors. These connectors, when combined with the screw-threaded coupling, are designed to keep reactants to a minimum, which allows these connectors to be used beyond the frequencies associated with Snap-on subminiature connectors. The SMA connectors are designed for mode-free operation from DC to 18GHz and DC to 27GHz on optimized versions. Typical applications include microwave active and passive components, instrumentation, avionics, and other high-end radio electronics.
