SMA Series

SMA connectors are based on MIL-C-39012 specifications and provide a constant 50 Ohm characteristic  impedance up to 12.4 GHz. The SMA product designs include a wide range of configurations and will consider each customer's special requirements. The major application of SMA series connectors are test & measurement, mobile communication & other devices.
