SMA Plug for 18 GHz Signal Paths
The 901-9895-RFX: That frequency ceiling covers the full L-, S-, C-, and X-bands plus the lower Ku-band — enough for most microwave links, test equipment, and antenna feeds before you hit the millimeter-wave wall.
Weatherproof Build for Exposed Installations
Rated weatherproof, this plug seals against rain and splash when mated with a compatible SMA jack — the threaded interface compresses an O-ring or gasket inside the coupling nut. The gold-plated brass body and center contact resist corrosion in outdoor or marine-air environments.
500 Mating Cycles — Standard SMA Reconnect Duty
The gold center-contact plating (mating side) maintains low and stable contact resistance through those cycles. If your application needs thousands of mates, step up to a high-cycle SMA variant; for production test or periodic maintenance, 500 cycles is the standard SMA benchmark.
Cross-Shop: 901-9895-RFX vs 901-9867-RFX
The closest functional sibling is the 901-9867-RFX — same SMA plug, male pin, 50 Ohm, 18 GHz, weatherproof, 500 cycles, gold body. The difference is the cable-prep kit: 901-9867-RFX ships with a contact, ferrule, and insulator for RG-405 (.085" semi-rigid) cable. The 901-9895-RFX is the bare connector only — no cable hardware included. If your BOM already specifies a separate cable-prep kit, the 901-9895-RFX is the right choice. If you need a one-part-number cable assembly solution, the 901-9867-RFX saves a line item.
