SMA Jack, 50 Ohm, 26.5 GHz — Board-Edge End Launch
The 901-10511-2: That frequency ceiling puts it above the typical 18 GHz SMA — it handles Ku-band and most of the K-band without rolling off. The board edge, end launch mounting means the connector sits at the PCB perimeter with the signal pin aligned to the board edge, which keeps the RF launch clean and minimises stub effects. A flange provides mechanical retention, and the threaded coupling gives a vibration-resistant mate.
500 Mating Cycles — Field-Serviceable Threaded Interface
The threaded fastening adds a mechanical lock — once torqued, the pair stays mated under vibration that would rattle a snap-on connector loose. For a board-edge launch that sees periodic cable swaps, the cycle life matches the duty.
Active Lifecycle — No LTB Pressure
No last-time-buy notice, no forced redesign window.
