The 901-10816: It is a panel-mount bulkhead connector with a rear-side nut, threaded coupling for secure mating, and IP67 sealing against dust and water ingress. The connector targets RG-58 cable, terminated via crimp for the shield and solder for the center contact.
The 6 GHz maximum frequency covers common bands like Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz), cellular (up to 6 GHz), and ISM applications. If your system runs above 6 GHz, this is not the right jack; look for a precision SMA rated to 18 GHz or higher. For the bulk of commercial RF work below 6 GHz, the 901-10816 delivers the bandwidth without over-specifying the connector cost.
IP67 Sealing — Not Just Another SMA
Most SMA connectors are unsealed, making them vulnerable to moisture and dust in outdoor or washdown environments. The sealing relies on the O-ring at the panel face and the threaded coupling; ensure the mating plug also carries an IP67 rating to maintain the seal.
Cable Termination and Field Fit
The 901-10816 is built for RG-58 cable — a common 50 Ohm coax with a solid or stranded center conductor. This gives a reliable, repeatable assembly that holds up to vibration better than a solder-only shield joint. The panel mount uses a rear-side nut, so the connector installs from the inside of the panel — the hole diameter is not listed here, but standard SMA bulkhead holes are typically 0.250 inches (6.35 mm). Confirm the panel thickness and hole size against the product drawing before cutting.
