Right-Angle SMA Adapter for Tight RF Paths
The Amphenol RF AD-SMAPSMAP-2 is a right-angle SMA to SMA adapter that mates two male SMA plugs together — male pin to male pin — in a 50 Ohm path. The right-angle body bends the signal 90 degrees, which saves space at the board edge or inside a panel enclosure where a straight adapter would force the cable into a tight bend radius. With a 22 GHz maximum frequency, this adapter clears the full SMA band and then some, covering Wi-Fi, cellular, and test instrumentation links that stay under 18 GHz with margin.
Where the 22 GHz Ceiling Matters
Most standard SMA adapters top out at 18 GHz. The AD-SMAPSMAP-2's 22 GHz rating gives you headroom for 5G NR FR1 bands up to 7.125 GHz, Wi-Fi 6E at 6 GHz, and satellite L-band through Ku-band without worrying about the adapter rolling off before the cable does.
Right Angle vs Straight: Picking the Body
The AD-SMAPSMAP-2 is a right-angle adapter. The straight sibling in the same family, the 132168, also runs plug-to-plug male-to-male but keeps the signal in-line. If your enclosure has the depth for a straight run, the 132168 saves a connector; if you are squeezing a coax run into a shallow lid, the right-angle AD-SMAPSMAP-2 is the fit.
No official second-source cross-reference is on record, but the straight 132168 and the plug-to-jack AD-SMAPSMAJ-2 are the closest functional siblings within the same Amphenol RF AD-SMA family.
