Description

The term SMA M RA LMR 100 CRIMP refers to a specific type of RF connector assembly used in microwave and RF applications. Let’s break it down: SMA (SubMiniature version A): This is a type of coaxial RF connector known for its compact size, commonly used in high-frequency applications. SMA connectors are widely used in communication systems, including mobile and satellite devices. M (Male): This denotes the gender of the connector, meaning it is a male connector, which has a pin or central conductor for inserting into the corresponding female connector. RA (Right Angle): This indicates that the connector is designed at a right angle to the cable, making it ideal for situations where space is limited or where cable routing needs to be in a perpendicular direction to the connector. LMR 100: This refers to the type of coaxial cable used with the connector. LMR 100 is a specific size of flexible coaxial cable, known for its low-loss characteristics and typically used in RF and wireless communication systems. CRIMP: This refers to the method used for attaching the connector to the cable. In a crimp connection, a metal sleeve is used to secure the connector to the cable by squeezing or "crimping" it around the cable’s outer shield, ensuring a reliable and stable connection. This assembly is ideal for applications where compact, right-angle connections are needed, such as in small equipment or tight spaces, and it ensures efficient RF signal transmission with minimal signal loss. It’s commonly used in systems requiring high-frequency transmission, like wireless communication and antenna systems.
