SMA Male Right Angle Connector for RG316 Cable

SMA Male Right Angle Connector for RG316 Cable 

SIPU RF Technology SMA Male Right Angle Connector for RG316 Cable (SIPU-SMA-JWC3-1) is developed to provide precision engineered connectivity for high frequency applications up to 12.4 GHz. It offers a 90° space-saving design and a characteristic impedance of 50Ω, with an insertion loss of ≤0.08√F(GHz)dB, minimising signal deterioration in your RF system. This connection is built to military-grade specifications, with dielectric withstanding voltage of 1000V and insulation resistance of more than 5000MΩ. Gold-plated brass contacts ensure center contact resistance is less than 3.0 mΩ and outside contact resistance is under 2.0 mΩ. The VSWR is ≤1.15+0.02F(GHz). It is verified to sustain 500 mating cycles with constant performance in telecommunication, aerospace and industrial test conditions from -65℃ to +125℃.

Key Features & Benefits

Space-Optimized Design

The 90° right-angle design eliminates major routing problems in tight installations. This design avoids kinking and maintains signal integrity in tight spaces or when quick twists are needed, such as with less than one inch of clearance. Your equipment benefits from a lower chassis profile and better airflow control.

Superior Material Construction

Gold plated brass contacts provide excellent conductivity and oxidation resistance over the 500 cycle life of the connection. The PTFE dielectric provides steady electrical characteristics across a wide temperature range. Silicone rubber sealing offers environmental protection against moisture and pollutants.

Precision RF Performance

Your system achieves consistent 50Ω impedance matching with minimal reflections. The low insertion loss specification guarantees signal strength preservation. These characteristics make the connector ideal for sensitive RF measurements and high-reliability communication links.

Application Scenarios

Aerospace & Avionics Systems

The SMA Male Right Angle Connector for RG316 Cable excels in aircraft instrumentation where the RG316's FEP jacket withstands elevated temperatures near engine compartments. You can route cables through tight bulkhead spaces while maintaining signal integrity in cockpit avionics and navigation equipment.

Telecommunications Infrastructure

Inside 4G/5G small cell base stations, this connector enables low-profile internal routing between PCB modules and antenna ports. Your infrastructure benefits from space-efficient vertical cable management that doesn't obstruct adjacent equipment in densely packed cabinets.

RF Testing & Industrial IoT

High-density test racks require vertical cable routing without port obstruction. You gain reliable connectivity in vibration-prone industrial environments where multiple instruments share limited rack space. The threaded coupling sleeve adopts a dual-locking structure with threads and safety pin holes. When installed in accordance with specifications, it can prevent accidental disconnection of the connector under high-intensity vibration conditions.

Quality Assurance Process

SIPU RF Technology implements rigorous inspection protocols for every batch of connectors. Each production run undergoes dielectric withstanding voltage testing using specialized insulation testers to verify the 1,000V specification and insulation resistance compliance.

Our quality control includes plating thickness verification and adhesion testing to ensure long-term durability. Every batch receives RoHS environmental compliance screening, guaranteeing your projects meet international regulations.

The connector's electrical performance parameters—VSWR and insertion loss—are guaranteed through precision mechanical design and manufacturing tolerances. You receive components that meet published specifications without requiring individual RF testing.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

This connector is engineered exclusively for RG316/U coaxial cable with 2.5mm outer diameter. The crimp sleeve dimensions ensure optimal cable retention and impedance matching. Using cables with different diameters may compromise mechanical stability and electrical performance.

During assembly, ensure the outer braid is fully captured by the ferrule. Proper crimping prevents signal leakage and maintains the connector's EMI shielding effectiveness. Apply recommended torque specifications when mating to maintain gas-tight connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What is the maximum frequency for this connector?

A:While SMA interfaces support higher frequencies, this product is optimized for performance up to 12.4 GHz in right-angle configuration. This ensures low VSWR and consistent signal quality across the specified range.

Q:Can I use this connector with RG174 cable?

A:The crimp sleeve is specifically sized for RG316's 2.5mm outer diameter. RG174 has similar dimensions but may require a different ferrule size for optimal mechanical retention and electrical performance.

Q:Why choose right angle over straight connectors?

A:Select the right-angle version when clearance is limited or cable routing requires sharp turns that would otherwise stress the cable. This design prevents kinking and extends cable life in confined spaces.

Q:Is the center pin soldered or crimped?

A:High-quality right-angle designs feature soldered center pins accessed through a rear cap. This construction method ensures maximum signal transition stability and long-term reliability.

Q:Is this connector waterproof?

A:The standard version includes silicon rubber sealing for environmental protection. For outdoor or marine applications requiring IP67 rating, specialized versions with internal O-rings are available upon request.
