SMZ(M) TO SMZ(M) ADAPTOR 4GHZ

1. Frequency Range:
   • Up to 4 GHz: The adapter is designed to work effectively up to 4 GHz. Ensure that this frequency range matches your application needs, especially if higher frequencies are required.
2. Impedance:
   • 50 Ohms: Standard impedance for most RF systems, ensuring proper signal matching and minimal signal reflection.
3. Connector Types:
   • SMZ Male: Features a center pin and a threaded coupling mechanism. Both ends of the adapter are SMZ male connectors, allowing for a direct connection between two male connectors.
4. Insertion Loss:
   • Typically ≤ 0.3 dB: Represents 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: Shows how effectively the adapter maintains impedance and minimizes signal reflections. Lower VSWR values are better for preserving signal quality.
7. Construction Material:
   • Body: Typically made from high-quality materials such as brass or stainless steel for durability.
   • Plating: Usually 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, making it easy to integrate into RF systems.

Example Part Number:

• Manufacturer: Consult RF component suppliers like Amphenol, Pasternack, or similar companies for specific parts.
• Part Number Example: Specific part numbers can vary, but look for models from reputable suppliers that match the SMZ male to SMZ male configuration and frequency range. Always verify with the supplier for the exact part number and specifications.

Applications:

• RF and Microwave Systems: Connects two SMZ male connectors in RF and microwave systems.
• Communication Equipment: Useful for extending or joining connections where SMZ male connectors are used.
• Test and Measurement: Common in RF testing setups where a direct connection between two SMZ male connectors is required.

Visual Inspection:

• Connector Compatibility: Ensure that both connectors are SMZ male types with the correct pin and socket configurations for a secure fit.

When selecting an SMZ Male to SMZ Male adapter, confirm that 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.
