Description

The term "SMA M LMR 100 CRIMP" refers to a specific type of RF connector and cable assembly. Let’s break it down: SMA: Stands for SubMiniature version A, a type of coaxial RF connector known for its compact size and high-frequency performance, typically used for applications up to 18 GHz. M: Refers to the gender of the connector. In this case, "M" stands for "Male," meaning the connector has a central pin that will mate with a female connector. LMR 100: Refers to the specific type of coaxial cable used in this assembly. LMR 100 is a lightweight, flexible coaxial cable that is commonly used in RF applications for frequencies up to 6 GHz. It’s known for its low loss and ease of installation. CRIMP: Indicates the method used to attach the connector to the cable. Crimping involves using a specialized tool to press a metal sleeve (crimp) around the cable and connector to ensure a secure electrical and mechanical connection. So, SMA M LMR 100 CRIMP describes a male SMA connector attached to an LMR 100 cable using a crimping method. This type of assembly is used in RF systems where compact, low-loss cables and reliable connections are required. It's commonly used in telecommunications, aerospace, and defense industries.
