Description

The part number "SMA M RA RG 59 CRIMP" represents a specific type of RF connector and cable assembly. Here's a breakdown of the definition: SMA: This refers to a type of RF connector. The SMA (SubMiniature version A) is a threaded, small form-factor connector designed for high-frequency applications. It is widely used for connections in telecommunications, aerospace, and other RF systems. M: This stands for "Male," indicating that the connector has a male termination (the pin or center conductor is exposed on the inside of the connector). RA: This means "Right Angle." It refers to the connector's shape, which is angled at 90 degrees. This is useful for applications where space is tight, and a straight connector would not fit. RG 59: This indicates the type of coaxial cable used with the connector. RG 59 is a popular coaxial cable known for its flexibility and is often used in video and low-frequency signal transmission. It has a 75-ohm characteristic impedance. CRIMP: This refers to the method of connecting the connector to the cable. Crimping involves using a specialized tool to press the connector onto the cable's conductors, ensuring a secure, low-resistance connection. In summary, "SMA M RA RG 59 CRIMP" refers to an SMA male right-angle connector attached to RG 59 coaxial cable using a crimping method. This assembly is typically used in applications requiring a compact, secure connection in environments with limited space.
