Amphenol RF has expanded its high-frequency SMA panel mount receptacle series with an additional two-hole flange configuration. This stainless steel SMA jack provides a flat tab termination style and delivers high durability and abrasion resistance in different operating environments. SMA panel mount receptacles are excellent for PCB designs in commercial, industrial and defence microwave component applications.

The SMA panel mount receptacle jack is created from high-strength stainless steel with a gold-finished body and a gold contact. This connector provides reliable electrical performance up to 18GHz and is offered in a two-hole flange configuration. The two holes are typically mounted horizontally to the housing. The 0.005" flat tab contact is epoxy captivated to stop damage due to rotations and improve RF leakage for better overall performance.

This two-hole flange jack joins a robust portfolio of fully customizable SMA panel mount connectors. This series includes two and four-hole flange configurations and various termination options, including post contacts with extended PTFE insulators and solder cups, tabs, and slotted contacts. These RF connectors are generally employed in RF amplifiers, couplers, attenuators, detectors and microwave filters.
