What are SMA Connectors: Specification of SMA Connector

SMA-2-scaled

The SMA connector is an ultra-small coaxial cable connector that derives its name from the Sub-Miniature A connector. It has many applications. To provide connections for RF components within devices that need coaxial connections. It usually provides an RF connection between circuit boards. Many microwave components including Filters, Attenuators, Mixers and Oscillators, use SMA connectors. […]

Development and limitations of SMA connectors

SMA connectors

The SMA (Sub-Miniature-A) RF coaxial connector, credited to James Cheal of Bendix Company in the United States in 1958, was born to address the TEM mode conversion challenges between coaxial and microstrip structures due to its compact size and design. This innovation brought simplicity, a wide operating frequency range, and high reliability, leading to its […]
