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

1. Frequency Range:
   • Up to 4 GHz: The adapter is designed to operate effectively at frequencies up to 4 GHz. Many adapters are rated for higher frequencies, so check the specifications if your application demands a higher frequency range.
2. Impedance:
   • 50 Ohms: The standard impedance for most RF applications, ensuring proper signal matching and minimal signal reflection.
3. Connector Types:
   • SMA Male: Features a center pin and threaded coupling mechanism. Suitable for high-frequency applications.
   • N Male: Features a center pin and is known for its durability and robustness in RF applications. It has a larger diameter compared to SMA connectors.
4. Insertion Loss:
   • Typically ≤ 0.2 dB: Indicates the loss of signal power as it passes through the adapter. Lower insertion loss is preferred to maintain signal strength.
5. Return Loss:
   • Typically ≥ 20 dB: Reflects how well the adapter maintains impedance matching. Higher values indicate less signal reflection and better performance.
6. VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio):
   • Typically ≤ 1.2: Represents how efficiently the adapter maintains impedance and minimizes signal reflections. Lower VSWR values indicate better performance.
7. Construction Material:
   • Body: Often made from high-quality materials such as brass or stainless steel for durability.
   • Plating: Typically 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 various environmental conditions.
9. Size and Weight:
   • Compact Design: 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 similar companies.
• Part Number Example: For specific part numbers, look for parts like Pasternack PE4450 or similar. Verify with the exact specifications from the supplier.

Applications:

• RF and Microwave Systems: Connects components with SMA male and N male connectors.
• Communication Equipment: Useful for systems where these different connector types need to be interfaced.
• Test and Measurement: Commonly used in RF testing environments where integration of different connectors is required.

Visual Inspection:

• Connector Compatibility: Ensure that the connectors are correctly matched as SMA male and N male, with appropriate pin and socket configurations.

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