Description
The SMA male straight cable-mount RF connector, model SMA-JCFT500MW-1, is optimized for microwave applications using the CFT500MW low-loss coaxial cable. Operating from DC to 18 GHz with 50 Ω impedance, VSWR ≤ 1.12, and insertion loss ≤ 0.06 √f dB, it provides stable broadband performance and low reflection in instrumentation and laboratory setups. See related variants within the SMA connector family.
The SMA-JCFT500MW-1 connector ensures precise impedance matching and low VSWR across the full 18 GHz range. Its tight mechanical tolerance minimizes return-loss variation and maintains phase stability in precision RF measurements and microwave test systems.
Manufactured from passivated stainless steel and fitted with a gold-plated beryllium-copper (BeCu) center contact, the SMA-JCFT500MW-1 provides excellent corrosion resistance, low contact resistance, and repeatable electrical performance over many mating cycles. More precision-engineered interconnects are available in RF connectors.
The solder-mount termination offers accurate dielectric alignment and secure strain-relief, maintaining consistent impedance and preventing signal drift under vibration or handling. Explore similar high-precision designs within cable-mount connectors.
For broadband phase linearity and low attenuation, pair the SMA-JCFT500MW-1 connector with the CFT500MW low-loss, phase-stable coaxial cable to achieve consistent microwave accuracy and reliable RF signal integrity in test and measurement environments.
