Cables for RF connectors

13 July 2005 Interconnection

Samtec has added RF cable connectors and cable assemblies to mate with its line of MMCX, MCX and SMA connectors.

The SMA subminiature RF cable assemblies (SMA Series) are available with straight and right angle terminations and feature high durability, compact semi-precision connectors. They use 2,16 mm and 3,58 mm semi-rigid cables and standard flexible cables, including double-shielded RG-316.

Mini connector cable assemblies (MCX Series) are available as jacks and plugs and with a choice of straight or right angle terminations. These quick connect/disconnect style connectors are ideal for applications with limited weight and space availability.

Micro-Mini cable plugs (MMCX Series) are also available with straight and right angle terminations, and feature quick connect/disconnect style snap-on mating. A 'Ganged' variation is also offered for terminating two, four, six or eight wires simultaneously.
