SMA receptacle for 6 GHz signal paths
The TE Connectivity Greenpar 3-1478979-0 is a 50 Ohm SMA receptacle, female socket, rated to 6 GHz. It is a through-hole, solder-termination connector with a threaded coupling for secure, vibration-resistant mating.
Obsolete — sourcing strategy for 3-1478979-0
There is no listed direct replacement or successor order code from TE Connectivity. For a BOM that specifies 3-1478979-0, the procurement path is the surplus and broker channel. If you need a current-production SMA receptacle, a parametric search on 50 Ohm, 6 GHz, through-hole, female socket will surface active alternatives.
The threaded coupling nut takes a standard SMA torque wrench — do not over-torque; the gold-plated brass body is softer than stainless steel. The PTFE dielectric holds the centre contact concentric; the impedance stays at 50 Ohms through the launch if the PCB trace geometry matches.
