SMA Jack for 50 Ohm RF Paths
The 901-5GB100000AM: The gold-plated stainless steel body and flange mount give it a corrosion-resistant, panel-secured interface that holds impedance through the launch.
What the 18 GHz and 50 Ohm Ratings Mean for Your Signal Path
The 18 GHz maximum frequency means the connector's geometry and dielectric (PTFE) keep the VSWR below a usable threshold across the full DC-to-18 GHz band. Above 18 GHz the launch becomes a discontinuity; stay within the rated band to avoid excess return loss.
Mating and Termination — What Connects Here
This jack mates with any standard SMA plug (male pin) with a threaded coupling nut — the fastening type is threaded, so the pair stays mated under vibration without a secondary lock. The shield termination is solder; the contact termination is a solder tab. That means you solder the centre conductor to the tab and the cable braid to the body — no crimp tool required, but you need a clean soldering station and heat management to avoid melting the PTFE dielectric.
