SMA Right-Angle Plug Kit for RG-179/188/316 — 12.4 GHz
It is rated to 12.4 GHz at 50 Ohm impedance, with a voltage rating of 375 V. The kit includes four pieces: the connector body, an end cap, a ferrule, and a heat-shrink tube, all in one bulk package. The 12.4 GHz frequency ceiling puts this plug squarely in the SMA band — it handles L-band through X-band signals, but not the full Ku-band that some SMA variants reach. For a right-angle plug at this price point, the 12.4 GHz limit is typical; the bend introduces a small impedance discontinuity that caps the upper frequency below what a straight SMA plug would deliver. The shield is terminated by crimp, the centre contact by solder — a standard two-step termination for RG-size cables.
This plug is designed for RG-179 and RG-316 double-braid cables, plus the M17/152-RD316 variant. The crimp ferrule and solder centre contact are sized for these cable groups. The kit includes the end cap and heat shrink, which together seal the cable entry for weatherproofing. The ingress protection is listed as weatherproof — not a full IP67 rating, but enough to keep moisture out of a sheltered outdoor or industrial enclosure when the heat shrink is properly applied.
