SMA(F) TO N(M) ADAPTOR 4GHZ

1. Frequency Range:
   • 4 GHz (4000 MHz): The adapter is typically rated for operation up to this frequency. Many adapters support higher frequencies, so always check the maximum frequency rating if your application demands it.
2. Impedance:
   • 50 Ohms: This is the standard impedance for most RF systems and ensures minimal signal reflection and maximum power transfer.
3. Connector Types:
   • SMA Female: This connector has a threaded coupling mechanism and is designed for smaller, higher-frequency applications.
   • N Male: This connector has a larger diameter and is designed for robust connections in various RF systems.
4. Insertion Loss:
   • Typically ≤ 0.2 dB: This measures the loss of signal power as it travels through the adapter. Lower insertion loss indicates better performance.
5. Return Loss:
   • Typically ≥ 20 dB: This measures how well the adapter maintains impedance matching, with higher values indicating lower reflection.
6. VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio):
   • Typically ≤ 1.2: This ratio describes the efficiency of power transfer and how well the connector maintains impedance. A lower VSWR indicates better performance.
7. Construction Material:
   • Body: Often made from brass or stainless steel for durability.
   • Plating: Gold or nickel plating is common to ensure good conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
8. Temperature Range:
   • Typically -55°C to +165°C: The adapter is designed to operate in a wide temperature range, ensuring reliability in various environments.
9. Size and Weight:
   • Compact Design: The exact dimensions vary, but adapters are usually designed to be compact and lightweight for ease of integration.

Example Part Number:

• Manufacturer: Amphenol, Pasternack, or other RF component manufacturers.
• Part Number Example: PE4452 (Note: This is a generic example; check the specific part number for exact specs.)

Applications:

• RF Testing Equipment: Used in labs for testing and measuring RF signals.
• Communication Systems: For connecting various components in telecommunications.
• Signal Distribution: In systems that require connecting different types of equipment.

When selecting an adapter, make sure to verify these specifications against your system requirements to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
