New Snap-Lock SMA Connector Mates with Standard SMA for Easier and More Reliable Connection
Tyco Electronics introduces a new Snap-Lock SMA series plug connector that is compatible with standard SMA jack connectors. The new design reduces wear on components and saves mating/unmating time. It is an excellent choice for customers who like quick release capability but want to preserve backwards compatibility of existing equipment or systems.
HARRISBURG, Pa. - Dec. 3, 2008 - Tyco Electronics has introduced a new Snap-Lock SMA series plug connector that is compatible with a standard SMA jack connector. Traditional mating of the SMA interface requires threading the plug into the jack to a specified torque level (typically 7-10 in-lbs). This process takes time, involves wear on the mating components, and often requires a separate tool to ensure that the prescribed mating torque is achieved. Tyco Electronics' new Snap-Lock SMA Series plug connector has inner contact fingers which slide over the threads of the mating SMA jack and lock into place by engaging the outer collar. Disengagement is achieved by pulling back on the outer collar. This design reduces wear on the components and saves time in mating and unmating.
This connector series is ideal for test and instrumentation purposes, as well as mobile base station filters and cable assemblies. It is an excellent option for customers who like quick release capability but want to preserve backwards compatibility of their existing equipment or systems.
The Snap-Lock SMA series product is offered in straight and right-angle cable plug configurations and as a SMA jack to Snap-Lock SMA plug adapter. The series has an operating temperature range of -65°C to +165°C, 50 Ohms impedance, and excellent performance at frequencies up to 6 GHz.
