Description

The part number "SMA F BH LMR 100 CRIMP" describes a specific type of RF connector and cable assembly. Let's break it down: SMA F (SMA Female): This refers to a female SMA (SubMiniature version A) connector. SMA connectors are widely used in RF applications due to their compact size and good performance at high frequencies. The "F" indicates that the connector is female, meaning it will have an internal contact that mates with a male SMA connector. BH (Bulkhead): "BH" stands for Bulkhead, indicating that the connector is designed to be mounted through a panel or surface. Bulkhead connectors are used to create a sealed electrical connection between the inside and outside of an enclosure or panel. LMR 100: "LMR 100" refers to the type of coaxial cable used in the assembly. LMR 100 is a flexible, low-loss cable suitable for applications requiring high-frequency signals, typically up to 6 GHz. It is smaller in diameter compared to other LMR cables, making it ideal for applications where space is limited. CRIMP: "CRIMP" refers to the method of attaching the connector to the cable. Crimping involves mechanically attaching a metal connector to the cable by compressing the connector around the cable’s conductor and insulation. This is a reliable and widely used method for creating secure electrical connections. Summary: The "SMA F BH LMR 100 CRIMP" assembly is a female SMA bulkhead connector attached to LMR 100 coaxial cable using a crimping method. This setup is ideal for applications where a secure, low-loss RF connection is needed, with the added functionality of bulkhead mounting for passing signals through panels or enclosures.
