SMA - 50 Ohm Connectors
For Semi-Rigid Cable
SMA Captivated Solderless Contact
Connectors for Semi-Rigid Cable
The Johnson® captivated solderless contact connectors for semi-rigid cable provide a
unique solution for high frequency cable assemblers. As compared to standard solder-
on connectors with separate center contacts, these SMA connectors offer several key
advantages:
• Assembly is easier and faster than non-captive contact connectors.
• Captivated center contacts allow the complete connector assembly to simply
plug onto the prepared cable. The only soldering required is between the
connector body and cable jacket.
• Rugged center contact socket design reduces potential intermittent signals,
which can be caused by the use of high temperature lead free solder alloys.
• Precision center contacts provide predictable mechanical and electrical
performance. Factory controlled contact location reduces variations in high
frequency electrical performance.
• Electrical performance is similar to non-captive contact connectors.
• Low VSWR is specified to 18 GHz. The connectors can be used at higher
frequencies with very good Return Loss.
• Plug connectors feature durable thickwall style mating interfaces with extended
cutoff frequency to 28 GHz.
• Bulkhead jack connectors are provided with silicone rubber o-rings for
environmental sealing of the flange mounting surface.
• Precision hand assembly tooling assures repeatable performance.
• All connectors meet or exceed the performance requirements of MIL-PRF-39012
captive contact semi-rigid SMA connectors.
