The threaded coupling nut locks the mate, holding the interface stable under vibration. The 18 GHz max frequency and 50 Ohm impedance define the connector class: it passes DC-to-microwave signals without a standing-wave penalty, provided the cable and system impedance match. The PTFE dielectric keeps the dielectric loss low through the band. The 500 mating cycles are supported by the gold-over-beryllium copper centre contact — the gold resists oxidation through repeated reconnects, and the beryllium copper spring maintains contact force over the cycle life. If you are mating this jack in a test set-up that sees daily connects, the cycle count is adequate; for a permanent install it is more than enough. ## Panel Mount with Solder Cup — Termination and Installation This is a panel-mount jack with a flange — you bolt it to the chassis, then terminate the coax cable to the solder cup. There is no PCB footprint; the signal path runs from the cable centre conductor through the solder cup to the beryllium copper contact. The threaded fastening type means the mating plug screws on; the coupling nut should be torqued to the manufacturer's spec (typically hand-tight plus a quarter turn with a wrench) to seat the interface without overstressing the dielectric. ## Functional Peer: 901-1GA200000AE The closest functional alternative is the 901-1GA200000AE. Both are SMA jacks, 50 Ohm, 18 GHz, panel-mount with flange, solder cup termination, 500 mating cycles. The difference is the body finish: the 901-1PA200000AE has a stainless steel body; the 901-1GA200000AE has a gold-plated body. Electrically they are identical — the choice comes down to the enclosure's cosmetic requirement or the corrosion resistance needed in the environment. If the BOM calls for the gold body, the 901-1GA200000AE is the drop-in swap; if the spec says stainless, this is the one.","metaTitle":"Amphenol RF 901-1PA200000AE SMA Jack, 50 Ohm, 18 GHz","metaDescription":"Amphenol RF 901-1PA200000AE SMA jack, female socket, panel mount with flange. 50 Ohm impedance, 18 GHz max frequency, solder cup termination.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["RF / Coaxial Connectors","RF Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Amphenol RF","Series":"-","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Includes":"-","Impedance":"50Ohm","Body Finish":"-","Cable Group":"-","Body Material":"Stainless Steel","Housing Color":"-","Mating Cycles":"500","Mounting Type":"Panel Mount","Connector Type":"Jack, Female Socket","Fastening Type":"Threaded","Insertion Loss":"-","Product Status":"Active","Connector Style":"SMA","Frequency - Max":"18 GHz","Number of Ports":"1","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Mounting Feature":"Flange","Ingress Protection":"-","Shield Termination":"Solder","Base Product Number":"901-1P","Contact Termination":"Solder Cup","Dielectric Material":"Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)","Operating Temperature":"-65°C~165°C","Center Contact Plating":"Gold","Center Contact Material":"Beryllium Copper"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$9.3800","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/ae728def2dc7639e5d22a3700a874d50.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/901-1PA200000AE/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the impedance of the 901-1PA200000AE?","answer":"The impedance is 50 Ohm, the standard for SMA RF interconnects.
