SMA Jack for 26.5 GHz Signal Paths
The 901-10511-1: That frequency ceiling puts it above the common 18 GHz SMA limit — useful for microwave test setups, satellite comms, or high-bandwidth instrumentation where the signal path needs to stay clean through the connector.
Board Edge End Launch — Footprint Fit
This connector mounts at the board edge with a flange, terminating the centre pin and shield with solder. The end-launch design keeps the signal path straight into the trace, minimising the impedance discontinuity at the transition. For a board layout engineer, the flange provides mechanical stability — the four screw holes take the strain off the solder joints when the cable is torqued during mating.
