The flange mounting feature lets you bolt it to a panel or enclosure wall, and the solder cup termination accepts a coaxial cable centre conductor directly — no crimp tool required in the field. ## Why the 18 GHz and 500-Cycle Ratings Matter for Your RF Path The 18 GHz max frequency means this SMA jack supports the full L, S, and C bands plus most of the Ku band — it handles 5G FR1 backhaul, Wi-Fi 6E, satellite downlinks, and instrumentation signals without rolling off. If your application needs more than 500 cycles, step up to a stainless-steel SMA variant with a longer cycle life — but for test-fixture or field-install duty, 500 cycles is the standard SMA endurance. ## Panel Mount and Solder Cup — What the Termination Tells You The flange mounting feature and threaded fastening together mean this receptacle is meant to be bolted to a panel with the mating SMA plug tightened by its coupling nut — the flange takes the mechanical load off the solder joint. The solder cup termination is the traditional field-serviceable method: strip the cable, tin the centre conductor, and solder it into the cup. No special crimp die set needed, which makes this a practical choice for prototype builds, repair kits, and low-volume production where tooling investment isn't justified.","metaTitle":"Amphenol RF 901-9893-RFX SMA Receptacle, 50 Ohm, 18 GHz","metaDescription":"Amphenol RF 901-9893-RFX SMA receptacle, female socket, 50 Ohm impedance, 18 GHz max frequency, panel mount with flange, solder cup termination, gold-plated","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":"Nickel","Cable Group":"-","Body Material":"Brass","Housing Color":"Silver","Mating Cycles":"500","Mounting Type":"Panel Mount","Connector Type":"Receptacle, 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":"901-98","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":"$9.8500","stockQuantity":27,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/0e1ccee1a5e4f4ceec2cadfc1e3f9175.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the 901-9893-RFX connector type and impedance?","answer":"It is an SMA receptacle with a female socket centre contact, rated at 50 Ohm impedance and specified to 18 GHz maximum frequency."},{"question":"Is the 901-9893-RFX panel mount?","answer":"Yes, it is a panel-mount connector with a flange mounting feature and threaded fastening, designed to be bolted to a bulkhead or enclosure wall."},{"question":"Does the 901-9893-RFX have a threaded fastening?","answer":"Yes, the fastening type is threaded — the mating SMA plug secures with a standard coupling nut."},{"question":"Where can I buy 901-9893-RFX?","answer":"Sourced to order against your BOM quantity; availability and pricing confirmed at quote time."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"isd-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/amphenol/901-9893-RFX","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/amphenol/901-9893-RFX when reusing this data.
