RF Performance and Environmental Rating
The 901-10746-EE: Rated to 6 GHz, this SMA jack carries the full DC-to-6 GHz band with a 50 Ohm impedance match — covering L-band, S-band, and most of C-band for applications like GPS antennas, cellular base station feeds, and test equipment. The IP67 rating means it seals dust-tight and waterproof when mated with the corresponding SMA plug, making it suitable for outdoor enclosures, vehicle-mounted antennas, or washdown-area RF links.
Mating Cycles and Contact Durability
This cycle life is typical for SMA connectors used in field-serviceable antenna ports or test-point interfaces where the cable is swapped periodically, not for permanent-install applications where a single mate is sufficient.
Termination and Cable Preparation
The centre contact crimps onto the signal conductor, and the shield termination barrel crimps over the braid and jacket. The dielectric material is PTFE, which holds its dielectric constant across the temperature range and supports the 50 Ohm impedance. No soldering is required — a proper crimp tool for RG-58 dies is all that is needed for a field-reliable assembly.
