Times Microwave Systems TC-195-SM-SS-X SMA Plug Straight Soldering Connector
TC-195-SM-SS-X Connector is a high-quality SMA Male (plug) connector specifically designed for rapid, reliable termination of LMR-195 and similar flexible low-loss coaxial cable. This connector features the innovative design, allowing for consistent field installations without the need for soldering equipment. It’s the ideal choice for compact RF devices and systems where the small SMA form factor and fast assembly are essential.
Key Features & Advantages
- Solderless Installation: The ‘SS’ suffix denotes a solderless center pin connection, which uses a unique spring-finger contact or similar mechanism to connect to the inner conductor. This significantly reduces installation time and minimizes field error.
- Compact SMA Interface: Provides the small, threaded interface widely used in cellular, GPS, and compact wireless systems where space is a constraint.
- Crimp Outer Contact: Features a standard crimp method for the ferrule, ensuring a strong, secure grip on the cable jacket and braid.
- High Performance: Engineered for optimal impedance matching, offering excellent electrical performance with low loss and an optimal VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) up to 6 GHz.
- Durable Construction: Built with a rugged brass body and typically finished with nickel plating for excellent environmental protection and long-term reliability.
