It handles signals up to 12.4 GHz at 50 Ohm impedance, with a voltage rating of 500 V. Shield termination is crimp; the center contact is soldered. Threaded coupling secures the mated pair, and the free-hanging (in-line) mounting style makes it a straight cable-end connector. ## Cable Group and Termination — What Fits This plug is built for a specific set of coax cables: RG-58 variants, RG-303, LMR-195, and Belden B7806A/9907. The shield is crimped; the center pin is soldered to the cable's center conductor. For a different cable type, a different ferrule or connector variant is needed. ## 500 Mating Cycles, Gold Contacts — Field-Service Ready ## How It Compares: 901-9867-RFX and 901-9881-RFX The 901-9867-RFX shares the same SMA plug style and gold body but is built for RG-405 semi-rigid cable (0.085\"/0.086\") and uses solder shield termination, not crimp. Its frequency rating reaches 18 GHz, higher than the 12.4 GHz of the 901-9870. The 901-9881-RFX is also a crimp/solder SMA plug but for RG-174/316-size cables, with a nickel body finish and a 375 V voltage rating. Choose the 901-9870 when the cable is RG-58 or LMR-195 and a crimp shield is preferred.","metaTitle":"Amphenol RF 901-9870 SMA Plug, Male Pin, 12.4 GHz, RG-58","metaDescription":"Amphenol RF 901-9870 SMA plug, male pin, 50 Ohm, 12.4 GHz max.
