What This SMA Dust Cap Covers
The 3-1478985-0: The gold-plated brass body resists corrosion, and the attached chain keeps the cap tethered to the cable or panel so it does not walk off during field service. This is the cap you spec alongside the SMA jack to keep the RF port clean between mates.
Fit and Finish Details
The body is machined from brass with a gold finish — the same plating grade used on the mating interface of premium SMA connectors, so galvanic corrosion is not a concern when capped on a gold-plated jack. Box packaging keeps the caps separate in stores, not loose in a bin.
