SSMA Male Connector for RG316 Cable

SSMA Male Connector for RG316 Cable 

SIPU RF Technology is the manufacturer of the SSMA Male Connector for RG316 Cable (Model: SIPU-SSMA-J3) . It is a micro-miniature RF connector for corporate use. This precise connection is designed to provide dependable performance from DC to 30 GHz with a typical impedance of 50 ohms. Gold plated brass outer conductor and brass center contact for best conductivity. The insertion loss is < 0.05√F (GHz) dB and VSWR ≤ 1.05 + 0.012F (GHz), such that signals are not distorted. The design is certified for over 500 mating cycles and is shown to work reliably across temperature from -65℃ to +125℃. SIPU combines military grade production standards and 25+ years of RF technical knowledge to consistently offer high frequency performance.

The flange-mount design enables solid panel mounting for critical aerospace, defence and telecom applications. Environmental resistance and long-term stability is ensured by PTFE dielectric material and silicon rubber sealing.

Product Features and Benefits

Your RF system demands connectors that deliver both compactness and reliability. Our SSMA Male Connector for RG316 Cable addresses these requirements through intelligent engineering design.

The SSMA series is 30% smaller in size than SMA connectors, maintaining excellent signal integrity even within high-density RF module layouts. The compact SSMA interface suits high-frequency applications and satisfies stringent space constraints of modern electronic equipment.

Compared with snap-on type connectors, the threaded coupling structure delivers superior vibration resistance.

Gold-plated contacts reduce contact resistance and resist corrosion, ensuring stable long-term electrical performance under harsh operating conditions. PTFE dielectric retains consistent electrical properties across the full operating temperature range.

Quality Control and Testing

SIPU RF Technology implements rigorous quality control procedures to ensure every connector meets demanding performance standards. Each production batch undergoes comprehensive inspection protocols.

Dielectric withstanding voltage testing is performed using insulation withstand voltage testers. This verifies the dielectric strength and insulation integrity of every connector. The structural design inherently guarantees VSWR and insertion loss specifications through precision engineering.

Plating quality inspection is conducted for each batch. Testing includes plating thickness measurement and adhesion strength verification to ensure reliable contact performance. Every batch receives RoHS environmental compliance testing to meet international standards.

Our quality system follows ISO 9001 certification requirements. This systematic approach ensures consistent product quality and traceability throughout the manufacturing process.

Installation and Maintenance Guidelines

Proper installation ensures optimal performance and longevity. You should verify cable compatibility before assembly to ensure proper fit and electrical performance.

Begin by preparing the cable end according to standard strip dimensions. Ensure clean cuts without damaging the center conductor or dielectric material. Crimp the connector firmly using appropriate tooling to achieve specified retention force.

During mating, align the connector carefully and tighten by hand initially. Use a torque-limiting tool to complete the connection without over-tightening. This prevents thread damage and maintains proper contact pressure.

Check connections routinely in high-vibration conditions. Check for any indications of wear, corrosion or mechanical loosening. In the event of contamination, clean contacts using the suitable solvents. Replace connections that exhibit symptoms of deterioration or have reached or surpassed their authorized mating cycles.

Store unused connections with protective coverings to avoid infection. Keep under regulated humidity for plating quality.
