SMA Panel-Mount Receptacle with Hermetic Seal
The 1053182-1: This connector is part of the standard SMA series, but with the addition of a hermetic seal and extended insulation — features that distinguish it from a standard SMA jack. The 500-cycle mating rating, backed by a gold-plated beryllium copper center contact, indicates a robust interconnect suited for repeated field connections in test equipment, antenna feeds, or sealed enclosures where moisture ingress is a concern.
What the Hermetic Seal and Extended Insulation Mean
The hermetic seal means the connector body is sealed against gas and moisture migration through the interface — this is not a simple environmental gasket but a true barrier, typically achieved by glass-to-metal sealing at the center conductor. The included gasket seals the panel interface, so the assembly is sealed at both the connector-to-cable and connector-to-panel boundaries. For a field tech, this means the connector can be used in outdoor or washdown environments without additional potting.
Obsolete — Sourcing the 1053182-1
The 1053182-1 is officially listed as Obsolete. For legacy maintenance, stock both halves of the mating pair if you find a supply.
The body is stainless steel, and the dielectric is PTFE. The fastening is threaded, which is standard for SMA. The panel mount is threaded as well, requiring a mounting hole and a nut (not included). The kit includes one connector and one gasket.
