SMA Connector’s market prospects and applications

SMA RF coaxial connector

For antenna applications, ultra-small A (SMA) Connector solutions that provide bridging between RF and microwave are available for standard and reverse polarity. They are usually designed for the frequency range from DC to 18GHz, have a characteristic impedance of 50Ξ©, and have a threaded coupling mechanism to achieve a safe connection even in a high-vibration […]

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 […]
