Explore the SMC Straight Bulkhead Jack Crimp Connector from CHIN NAN Precision Electronics—an ideal solution purposefully designed for high-performance coaxial cable applications. This premium SMC bulkhead connector is highly compatible with a variety of cables, including RG174U, RG316U, RG188, and LMR100, providing a reliable and flexible connection choice. Operating within a 50 Ω impedance system, it ensures optimum signal integrity across a broad frequency range of 0 to 10 GHz.
Featuring an optimized Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.32 MAX at 3 GHz, 1.44 MAX at 6 GHz, and 1.6 MAX at 10 GHz, along with a low maximum insertion loss of 0.25 dB at 4 GHz, this SMC RF connector minimizes signal degradation to guarantee superior and consistent performance. Coupled with a robust power handling capacity of 220W, it is perfectly suited for various high-frequency applications with moderate power requirements.
To ensure long-lasting durability and highly efficient electrical conductivity, both the connector body and the center contact are precision-machined from premium-quality brass. The integration of high-grade PTFE insulation enhances the connector's lifespan and electrical stability, enabling reliable operation in extreme temperatures ranging from -65°C to 165°C. Notably, this SMC Straight Bulkhead Jack Crimp Connector goes beyond standard functionalities by featuring a bulkhead mounting design suitable for a maximum panel thickness of 0.087 inches, providing exceptional adaptability and convenience for diverse installation scenarios.
Designed for easy assembly and efficient maintenance, the center contact can be seamlessly joined to the cable's inner conductor via soldering or crimping methods, while the ferrule must be securely crimped onto the cable to ensure a robust transmission and retention mechanism. It offers a mechanical durability of 500 mating cycles, supported by a minimum cable retention force of 15 lbs and a center contact axial retention force of 4 lbs min., ensuring a steadfast connection.
In terms of electrical safety and environmental resilience, this RF coaxial connector holds a continuous voltage rating of 335 volts rms at sea level and a dielectric withstanding voltage of 1000 volts rms at sea level. The insulation resistance is rated at a minimum of 1000 Megohms, ensuring reliable operation under varying environmental conditions. For optimal performance, the contact resistance is strictly controlled at a maximum of 6.0 Milliohms for the center contact and 1.0 Milliohms for the outer contact. Furthermore, it strictly complies with the highest military and industry standards, passing the MIL-STD-202 Method 204 Test Condition D for vibration and MIL-STD-202 Method 101 Test Condition B for salt spray.
