SMB(M) TO TNC(F) ADAPTOR 4GHZ

1. Frequency Range:
   • Up to 4 GHz: The adapter is designed to operate effectively up to 4 GHz. Ensure this frequency range meets your specific requirements.
2. Impedance:
   • 50 Ohms: Standard impedance for most RF systems, ensuring proper signal matching and minimal signal reflection.
3. Connector Types:
   • SMB Male: Features a center pin and a snap-on coupling mechanism. SMB connectors are designed for applications requiring a compact and efficient connection.
   • TNC Female: Features a center socket with a threaded coupling mechanism. TNC connectors are known for their durability and secure connection.
4. Insertion Loss:
   • Typically ≤ 0.3 dB: Indicates the amount of signal power lost as it passes through the adapter. Lower insertion loss is preferable to maintain signal strength.
5. Return Loss:
   • Typically ≥ 15 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 ≤ 1.5: Represents how effectively the adapter maintains impedance and minimizes signal reflections. Lower VSWR values are better for maintaining signal quality.
7. Construction Material:
   • Body: Typically 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 across a wide range of environmental conditions.
9. Size and Weight:
   • Compact Design: Designed to be compact and lightweight, suitable for integration into RF systems where space may be limited.

Example Part Number:

• Manufacturer: Check with RF component suppliers such as Amphenol, Pasternack, or similar companies.
• Part Number Example: Specific part numbers may vary, but you might find models like Pasternack PE4457 or similar. Always verify the exact part number and specifications with the supplier.

Applications:

• RF and Microwave Systems: Connects SMB male connectors to TNC female connectors in RF and microwave applications.
• Communication Equipment: Useful in systems where a secure connection is required between SMB and TNC connectors.
• Test and Measurement: Commonly used in RF testing environments where different types of connectors need to be interfaced.

Visual Inspection:

• Connector Compatibility: Ensure that the SMB male and TNC female connectors are correctly matched, with the appropriate pin and socket configurations for a secure connection.

When selecting an SMB Male to TNC Female adapter, make sure 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 specific application.
