Description

– A PCB bulkhead SMA female connector is a type of coaxial connector designed for mounting on a printed circuit board (PCB) and providing a female SMA connection point. It features a bulkhead mount, meaning it’s designed to be installed through a panel or chassis, and is typically used in applications requiring a secure, reliable connection for RF signals.
– These connectors are commonly used in microwave systems, wireless communication devices, and other applications where controlled impedance and high-frequency performance are important.

Key Features:
SMA Female:
The connector has a female SMA interface, which means it has internal threads and a central socket to mate with a male SMA connector.
Bulkhead Mount:
The connector is designed to be mounted through a panel or chassis, providing a secure, through-hole connection.
PCB Mount:
It’s designed to be soldered onto a PCB, making it suitable for integration into electronic circuits.
RF Connector:
SMA connectors are widely used in radio frequency (RF) applications, including microwave systems, wireless communication, and test and measurement equipment.
Threaded Coupling:
SMA connectors use a threaded coupling mechanism, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.
Controlled Impedance:
These connectors are designed for a 50-ohm impedance, which is a standard for RF applications.
Materials:
SMA connectors typically have brass or stainless steel bodies with gold or nickel plating, and beryllium copper contacts with gold plating for optimal electrical performance.
Right Angle or Straight:
They can be found in both right-angle and straight configurations, depending on the specific PCB layout and application requirements.
Waterproof/Sealed Options:
Some bulkhead SMA connectors are designed with waterproof or sealed features for applications requiring protection against moisture or other environmental factors.
