SMA Receptacle for Hermetically Sealed RF Paths
The stainless steel body with silver housing and threaded fastening provides a rugged, corrosion-resistant interface for outdoor or high-vibration enclosures. The compression contact termination mates with a hermetically sealed pin, and the integrated EMI/RFI gasket maintains shielding continuity across the panel cutout — critical for preventing radiated emissions from leaking through the mounting flange. The beryllium copper center contact with gold plating supports 500 mating cycles, suitable for field-serviceable connections where the connector is repeatedly unmated for equipment access.

Key Specifications for RF Fit
The 50 Ohm impedance and 18 GHz maximum frequency define the usable bandwidth — this connector supports L-band through Ku-band signals without significant mismatch loss. The flange mounting feature with screw shield termination provides a low-inductance ground path to the chassis, which is essential for containing EMI in sensitive receiver front-ends or transmitter output stages. The single-port, bulk-packaged design is typical for one-off replacements or small-run production where tape-and-reel packaging is unnecessary.
