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

1. Frequency Range:
   • Up to 4 GHz: The adapter is designed to operate effectively at frequencies up to 4 GHz. Many adapters can handle higher frequencies, so confirm if you need higher frequency capability.
2. Impedance:
   • 50 Ohms: Standard impedance for RF systems, ensuring minimal signal reflection and proper signal matching.
3. Connector Types:
   • SMA Male: Features a center pin and is typically used for higher frequency applications.
   • N Female: Has a center socket and is known for its durability and use in various RF and microwave systems.
4. Insertion Loss:
   • Typically ≤ 0.2 dB: Indicates how much signal power is lost as it passes through the adapter. Lower insertion loss values are preferable for maintaining signal strength.
5. Return Loss:
   • Typically ≥ 20 dB: Measures how well the adapter maintains impedance matching. Higher values indicate better performance with less signal reflection.
6. VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio):
   • Typically ≤ 1.2: Represents how effectively the adapter maintains impedance and minimizes signal reflections.
7. Construction Material:
   • Body: Usually made from high-quality materials such as brass or stainless steel for durability.
   • Plating: Often gold or nickel-plated to ensure good conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
8. Temperature Range:
   • Typically -55°C to +165°C: Ensures reliable operation in a range of environmental conditions.
9. Size and Weight:
   • Compact Design: Typically designed to be compact and lightweight for easy integration into RF systems.

Example Part Number:

• Manufacturer: Check with RF component suppliers such as Amphenol, Pasternack, or other reputable companies.
• Part Number Example: For specific part numbers, you might look at parts like Pasternack PE4452 or similar. Verify with exact specifications from the supplier.

Applications:

• RF and Microwave Systems: Used to connect components with SMA male and N female connectors.
• Communication Equipment: Useful for systems where different connector types are required.
• Test and Measurement: Common in RF testing environments where different connectors need to be integrated.

Visual Inspection:

• Connector Compatibility: Ensure that the connectors are properly matched with the SMA male and N female designations.

When choosing an SMA Male to N Female adapter, ensure it meets the frequency, impedance, and performance specifications required for your application. Always refer to datasheets and specifications from the manufacturer to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
