New and Improved SMA End Launch Connectors Ideal for Evaluation and Demo Kits

Moorpark, CA – Amphenol Connex is pleased to announce the release of new and improved versions of our end launch SMA connectors.  We’ve re-engineered our popular edge mount SMA connectors to ensure contact stability and to improve electrical performance from DC to 18GHz.   Edge mount SMA and RP-SMA connectors are ideal for use on semiconductor evaluation and demo boards and in high frequency space-limited applications.

Our edge mount SMA connectors feature gold plated bodies, precision machined from brass.  Dielectrics are PTFE.  Male contacts are machined from brass.  Female contacts are machined from Beryllium Copper.  All contacts are plated with cost saving gold over high-phosphorous nickel plating ensuring a durability of 500 mating cycles minimum.

End launch SMA connectors are available for varying PCB thicknesses and with either round post or flat-tab contacts.  Plug, jack and bulkhead jack body styles are available along with RP-SMA versions.  A matrix showing the popular part numbers is shown below:
