This connector isn’t merely a mechanical component; it’s a conduit for invisible symphonies—a harmonious blend of precision engineering and electromagnetic finesse. Picture it as the maestro’s baton, coaxing resonant waves through its 50Ω impedance orchestra.
Frequency Range: The SMA-KFK operates from DC (direct current) up to 18.0 GHz, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Impedance: The SMA-KFK maintains a consistent 50Ω impedance, ensuring optimal signal transmission efficiency. This impedance match is crucial for minimizing signal reflections and maximizing power transfer.
Temperature Range:
The SMA-KFK thrives in extreme conditions:
Minimum Operating Temperature: It can withstand frigid temperatures as low as -65°C, making it suitable for outdoor and harsh environments.
Maximum Operating Temperature: It remains reliable even at scorching temperatures up to +165°C.
Mating Cycles: The SMA-KFK is designed for durability, with a tested capability of up to 500 mating cycles. Frequent connections won’t compromise its performance. Whether you’re setting up temporary test configurations or deploying long-term installations, this connector can handle the wear and tear.
Insulation Resistance: The connector’s insulation resistance exceeds 5,000 megohms. This high resistance ensures that minimal current leaks across the insulating material, maintaining signal integrity and preventing unwanted losses.
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage: Safety is paramount. The SMA-KFK withstands a test voltage of 1,000 volts rms at sea level. This feature is essential for preventing electrical breakdown and ensuring reliable operation.
Frequency Ranges:
Versatility is a key feature:
With Flexible Cable (0~12.4GHz): Whether you’re working with flexible coaxial cables or patch cords, the SMA-KFK connector covers a broad frequency spectrum. From Wi-Fi applications to microwave communication, it adapts seamlessly.
With Semi-rigid Cable (0~18GHz): For more demanding setups, such as aerospace or defense applications, the SMA-KFK remains stable and performs consistently.
Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR):
The VSWR ensures minimal signal loss due to reflections:
Flexible Cable VSWR (1.15+0.02F): As the frequency varies, the VSWR remains low, indicating efficient power transfer.
Semi-rigid Cable VSWR (1.10+0.02F): Even in semi-rigid cable assemblies, the SMA-KFK maintains excellent VSWR characteristics.
Mechanical Characteristics:
The SMA-KFK excels in durability:
Connector Durability: Tested for 500 insertions and withdrawal cycles, it’s built to last.
Cable Retention Force: Ensures secure cable attachment, preventing accidental disconnections.
Coupling Nut Retention Force: Maintains coupling integrity during handling and vibrations.
Force to Engage and Disengage: Facilitates smooth mating and unmating, reducing strain on the connector.
Longitudinal Force: Provides stability during use, especially in mobile or dynamic applications.
