Key Features and Benefits of SMC Connectors
1. Miniature and Lightweight Design
SMC connectors are especially designed for environments with limited space and where weight is a concern.
Their subminiature size supports compact PCB layouts and portable device designs.
2. Threaded Coupling for Secure Connection
The 10-32 UNF threaded interface ensures a robust, vibration-resistant connection.
This coupling mechanism prevents accidental disconnection in high-vibration environments.
3. Broadband Performance
Standard SMC connectors deliver excellent signal integrity up to 4 GHz.
Extended-range versions support frequencies up to 10 GHz, suitable for high-frequency RF applications.
4. Compatibility and Versatility
Compatible with a wide range of miniature coaxial cables, including RG-174, RG-188, RG-316, RG-178, and RG-196.
Available in straight, right-angle, bulkhead, PCB-mounted, and cable-mount configurations.
Supports both crimp and solder termination methods.
5. High-Quality Materials and Finishes
Contacts are typically gold-plated over brass or beryllium copper for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.
PTFE dielectric insulation ensures low noise and high dielectric strength.
6. Military and Environmental Specifications
Designed to meet MIL-C-39012 Class II, Category B standards.
Operating temperature range from -65°C to +165°C.
Resistant to vibration (MIL-STD-202), salt spray, thermal shock, and moisture, ensuring durability in harsh conditions.
