Product Information

This product is an SMA connector, specifically designed for crimping or soldering onto flexible cables. It consists of various components such as a cap, heat shrink tubing, ferrule, female contact, jack body assembly, male contact, plug body assembly, and angle body assembly.

The product is available in different models, each identified by a unique Amphenol number. The connector types include SMA Plug, SMA Angle Plug, SMA Bulkhead Jack, and SMA Plug with RF capabilities. The product is compatible with various cable types, including RG-55, RG-142, RG-223, RG-400, LMR 240, and LMR 200.

The user manual also provides stripping dimensions for the cables, identified by dimensions a, b, and c.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Identify the specific model of the SMA connector required based on the Amphenol number.
  2. Prepare the flexible cable by stripping off the outer insulation according to the specified dimensions a, b, and c.
  3. If using crimp center contact type:
  4. Insert the stripped cable into the ferrule.
  5. Position the male contact onto the stripped end of the cable.
  6. Use a hex crimping tool with appropriate die set to crimp the ferrule onto the cable.
  7. If using solder center contact type:
  8. Strip off the outer insulation of the cable according to the specified dimensions a, b, and c.
  9. Solder the male contact onto the stripped end of the cable.
  • Assemble the connector components according to the specific connector type (plug, angle plug, or bulkhead jack).
  • Follow the appropriate assembly instructions provided for each specific connector type (plug, angle plug, or bulkhead jack).
  • Ensure that all connections are secure and properly assembled.

Note:
It is recommended to refer to the detailed assembly instructions provided in the complete user manual for specific guidance on assembling each connector type.

Installation

Step 1
Slide outer ferrule onto cable as shown. Strip cable jacket, braid and dielectric to dimensions shown in table. All cuts should be sharp and square. Do not nick braid, dielectric or center conductor when cutting.

Step 2
Flare end of cable braid slightly as shown to facilitate in sertion onto inner ferrule. Do not comb out braid. Solder center contact to cable (SN60-40 rosin core solder recommended.)

Note:
Center conductor should be visible through soft solder access hole in contact, prior to soldering.

Step 3
Install body onto cable so that female portion slides under braid and insulator butts flush against cable dielectric. Slide outer ferrule over braid and up against body. Make sure no slack exists in braid. Crimp over ferrule with tool specified in table, keeping cable dielectric bottomed against insulator.

Step 2 & 3

Angle Plugs:
Place cable dielectric into body and press ferrule against body as shown. Crimp with die set shown in table above. Solder cable center conductor into contact as shown. Insert cap and solder as shown or dimple and lightly punch center of cap for retention in body, for brass versions. Place heat shrink tubing over crimp ferrule, against body, and apply heat.
