Key Features & Advantages

Flange-Mount Reliability

The SMA Female Connector for RG316 Cable utilizes a flange-mount configuration that provides superior mechanical stability for panel installations. This design approach offers several critical advantages for your RF system.

The flange mounting secures the connector firmly to enclosures using screws. This creates enhanced resistance to vibration and mechanical stress. You benefit from a reliable grounding path that improves shielding effectiveness and overall RF stability.

This construction method prevents the intermittent signal loss common in less robust mounting solutions. Your equipment maintains consistent performance even in high-vibration industrial environments.

Precision Electrical Performance

Electrical performance satisfies the rigorous requirements of current RF applications. The VSWR characteristics of the connection are quite good throughout the whole frequency range.

Low insertion loss means less degrading of the signal . Gold-plated contact surfaces for excellent conductivity and oxidation resistance. You get good, low resistance connections throughout the life of the connector (500 cycles).

The PTFE dielectric material has excellent thermal stability. “Your system continues to operate as it did over the operating temperature range of -65℃ to +125℃.

Cable Compatibility Excellence

This connection is particularly optimised for the RG316/U coaxial cable. The interface design provides reliable 50Ω impedance matching across the cable-to-connector transition.

The central conductor interface is an exact match to the diameter of RG316 conductor. Proper impedance matching minimises reflections and maximises power transfer. You get excellent signal transmission without the impedance discontinuities that lead to performance degradation.

Its small form factor makes it perfect for applications where space is premium. Count on your ideas for dependable connection without being overly big.
