Cable gender changer DELOCK 88712 — SMA connectors, gold-plated contacts, gold colour

DELOCK 88712 cable gender changer is a compact SMA adapter designed for radio frequency coaxial connections. With gold-coloured housing and gold-plated contacts, this adapter converts the connector gender to allow compatible mating between SMA male and female terminations. It is suitable for antenna systems, radio equipment and test setups where an SMA interface is required and reliable signal transfer is important.

Advantages

The adapter offers corrosion-resistant gold-plated contacts for stable electrical contact and low signal loss. Its compact design makes it unobtrusive in tight installations while providing mechanical stability during repeated mating cycles. The universal SMA mechanical fit ensures compatibility with standard SMA connectors used in antennas, RF modules and laboratory instruments.

How to use

Align the adapter with the SMA connectors to be joined and carefully screw the adapter onto the first connector until hand-tight; then attach the second connector to the opposite side. Avoid over-tightening—use only moderate finger torque or a torque wrench if specific torque values are required by the equipment manufacturer. Ensure connectors are clean and free of debris before mating to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the adapter in clean, dry environments and inspect gold-plated contacts periodically for contamination. When used in high-frequency measurement setups, minimize additional cable length and unnecessary adapters to reduce insertion loss and reflections.
