Connector adapter DELOCK SMA gender changer 67412, SMA to SMA, gold-plated

DELOCK 67412 is an SMA gender changer adapter with SMA connectors on both ends and a gold-coloured finish. It is designed to change connector gender or join SMA-terminated cables and devices, providing a compact connection solution for RF equipment, antennas, test setups and signal routing where SMA interfaces are used. The SMA coaxial jack is suitable for solder mounting on circuit board edges with a maximum thickness of 1.7 mm; the gold plating reduces corrosion and supports reliable electrical contact over repeated connections.

Advantages

The adapter features a brass, gold-plated housing and PTFE insulation to ensure stable performance across a wide temperature range. With a specified impedance of 50 ohm and a VSWR below 1.3, it supports RF transmissions up to 6 GHz. Designed for surface-mounting technology with five solder points, the connector offers robust mechanical fixation and more than 500 mating cycles for repeated use. Its compact form factor allows easy integration into test rigs and equipment racks where straightforward gender conversion or cable joining is required.

Suitable for

• Joining two SMA-terminated coaxial cables
• Changing connector gender between SMA devices and test equipment
• Connecting antennas, RF modules and measurement instruments
• Compact lab setups, prototypes and signal routing on PCBs with 1.7 mm edge thickness

How to use

Prepare the printed circuit board edge up to 1.7 mm thick and align the SMA coaxial jack with the designated solder pads. Secure the adapter using surface-mount soldering on the five solder points following standard soldering profiles for brass and gold-plated contacts. After soldering and inspection for solder integrity, mate SMA-terminated cables or devices by hand-tightening the SMA connectors until snug; avoid excessive torque to prevent damage. Ensure proper impedance matching in the RF path and verify connections with appropriate test equipment before full operation.

Recommendations

For reliable RF performance, avoid bending or stressing connected coaxial cables near the adapter and keep the connector and mating surfaces clean from contaminants. Use appropriate calibration and test methods when integrating the adapter into measurement setups, and observe handling precautions to preserve the gold plating and PTFE insulator. Do not exceed the specified temperature and mating-cycle limits to maintain consistent performance.
