The TE Connectivity 1052566-1 is a panel-mount SMA receptacle, 50 Ohm, rated to 18 GHz. It uses a threaded coupling for a vibration-resistant RF connection, with a flange mount and solder tab termination. The center contact is beryllium copper with gold plating, and the body is stainless steel. It's built for RF signal paths where impedance control and shielding matter — test equipment, antennas, and RF modules.
The 18 GHz frequency ceiling covers L-band through Ku-band, so it handles satellite downlinks, radar, and microwave links.
The flange mount gives a rigid panel attachment, and the solder tab termination lets you ground the shield directly to the chassis — important for keeping the shield current off the signal path.
