SMA(M) TO SMA(F) RA ADAPTOR 4GHZ

This adapter allows for the connection between an SMA male connector and an SMA female connector at a right angle, providing a 90-degree turn. This can be particularly useful in tight spaces or when routing cables in specific directions is necessary.

Specifications:

1. Frequency Range:
   • Up to 4 GHz: The adapter is designed to operate effectively up to 4 GHz. Ensure it meets your specific frequency requirements if higher frequencies are needed.
2. Impedance:
   • 50 Ohms: Standard impedance for most RF applications, ensuring proper signal matching and minimal signal reflection.
3. Connector Types:
   • SMA Male: Features a center pin and threaded coupling mechanism.
   • SMA Female: Features a center socket and is threaded to match with the male connector. Both connectors are oriented at a 90-degree angle to each other.
4. Insertion Loss:
   • Typically ≤ 0.3 dB: Indicates the amount of signal power lost as it passes through the adapter. Lower values are preferable to maintain signal strength.
5. Return Loss:
   • Typically ≥ 15 dB: Reflects how well the adapter maintains impedance matching. Higher values indicate less signal reflection and better performance.
6. VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio):
   • Typically ≤ 1.5: Represents how effectively the adapter maintains impedance and minimizes signal reflections. Lower VSWR values are better for maintaining signal quality.
7. Construction Material:
   • Body: Usually made from high-quality materials such as brass or stainless steel for durability.
   • Plating: Typically gold or nickel-plated to ensure good conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
8. Temperature Range:
   • Typically -55°C to +165°C: Ensures reliable performance across a range of environmental conditions.
9. Size and Weight:
   • Compact Design: Designed to be compact and lightweight, making it easy to integrate into RF systems, especially in tight spaces.

Example Part Numb

• Manufacturer: Check with RF component suppliers like Amphenol, Pasternack, or similar companies for specific parts.
• Part Number Example: For reference, part numbers such as Pasternack PE4450 or similar might be used. Always verify the part number and specifications with the supplier.

Applications:

• RF and Microwave Systems: Useful for connecting components where a right-angle connection is needed.
• Communication Equipment: Ideal for installations where space constraints require a 90-degree connection.
• Test and Measurement: Commonly used in RF testing environments to manage cable routing and connector orientation.

Visual Inspection:

• Connector Compatibility: Ensure that the SMA male and SMA female connectors are correctly matched and that the right-angle configuration fits your application requirements.

When selecting an SMA Male to SMA Female Right-Angle adapter, ensure it meets your frequency, impedance, and performance requirements. Always refer to datasheets and specifications from the manufacturer to confirm compatibility and optimal performance for your application.
