SMA connectors are specially designed for multimode data communication applications. Molex SMA connectors are fully
compatible with existing SMA 905 hardware.
The connector is designed using the latest ceramic, metal and engineering polymer materials. Consistent field terminations
are easily achieved with the unique Molex termination process and the connector’s pre-polished ceramic ferrule. This
connector is available with either metal or polymer coupling nuts.
Connector-to-connector mating is achieved by using a bulkhead feed-through adapter. Two types of adapters are available: a
high performance polymer version with a precise metal alloy alignment sleeve and a full metal version which complies with
the MIL-C-83522/3B specifications.
