SMA Edge-Launch Receptacle, 50 Ohm, 18 GHz
The Amphenol RF 132255-11 is an SMA receptacle, female socket, designed for board edge or end launch mounting. It is a single-port, threaded-fastening connector with a 50 Ohm impedance and a maximum frequency of 18 GHz. This connector is suited for RF applications requiring a controlled 50 Ohm launch at the PCB edge, such as test equipment, base stations, and instrumentation.
50 Ohm Impedance and 18 GHz Bandwidth
The 18 GHz maximum frequency means this receptacle supports signals up to the K-band boundary, covering most cellular, Wi-Fi, GPS, and instrumentation bands. The board edge or end launch mounting minimizes the stub length and impedance discontinuity at the transition from PCB trace to connector, preserving signal integrity at higher frequencies.
500 Mating Cycles and Gold Plating
The threaded fastening type provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection that does not rely on a latch or snap.
