- Frequency Range:
- Up to 4 GHz: The adapter is designed to operate effectively up to 4 GHz. Ensure it meets your specific frequency requirements if higher frequencies are needed.
- Impedance:
- 50 Ohms: Standard impedance for most RF applications, ensuring proper signal matching and minimal signal reflection.
- Connector Types:
- SMA Male: Features a center pin and threaded coupling mechanism.
- SMA Female: Features a center socket and is threaded to match with the male connector. Both connectors are oriented at a 90-degree angle to each other.
- Insertion Loss:
- Typically ≤ 0.3 dB: Indicates the amount of signal power lost as it passes through the adapter. Lower values are preferable to maintain signal strength.
- Return Loss:
- Typically ≥ 15 dB: Reflects how well the adapter maintains impedance matching. Higher values indicate less signal reflection and better performance.
- VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio):
- Typically ≤ 1.5: Represents how effectively the adapter maintains impedance and minimizes signal reflections. Lower VSWR values are better for maintaining signal quality.
- Construction Material:
- Body: Usually 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.
- Temperature Range:
- Typically -55°C to +165°C: Ensures reliable performance across a range of environmental conditions.
- Size and Weight:
- Compact Design: Designed to be compact and lightweight, making it easy to integrate into RF systems, especially in tight spaces.
Example Part Numb
- Manufacturer: Check with RF component suppliers like Amphenol, Pasternack, or similar companies for specific parts.
- Part Number Example: For reference, part numbers such as Pasternack PE4450 or similar might be used. Always verify the part number and specifications with the supplier.
Applications:
- RF and Microwave Systems: Useful for connecting components where a right-angle connection is needed.
- Communication Equipment: Ideal for installations where space constraints require a 90-degree connection.
- Test and Measurement: Commonly used in RF testing environments to manage cable routing and connector orientation.
Visual Inspection:
- Connector Compatibility: Ensure that the SMA male and SMA female connectors are correctly matched and that the right-angle configuration fits your application requirements.
When selecting an SMA Male to SMA Female Right-Angle adapter, ensure it meets your frequency, impedance, and performance requirements. Always refer to datasheets and specifications from the manufacturer to confirm compatibility and optimal performance for your application.
