Connector socket Telegärtner SMA panel mount with flange Z29, gold, pack of 5

Telegärtner SMA panel mount connector socket Z29 in a gold finish, supplied as a pack of five, is designed for reliable RF coaxial connections on equipment front panels. The flange-mounted SMA socket provides a standardized interface for SMA plugs and a secure mechanical attachment to panels, making it suitable for test equipment, RF modules, antennas and production or laboratory installations where compact, threaded coaxial connections are required.

Advantages

The flange design ensures stable mechanical mounting and consistent connector alignment while the gold finish offers good corrosion resistance and stable contact performance. The SMA electrical interface maintains characteristic impedance and low reflection for RF signals, and the compact threaded coupling delivers secure mating in confined panel spaces. Supplied as a pack of five, the set simplifies procurement for batch installations and replacements.

Suitable for

• Front-panel mounting in RF test and measurement equipment
• Connections to RF modules and transceivers
• Antenna feed-throughs for compact devices and enclosures
• Laboratory setups and production fixtures requiring SMA panel connectors

Key specifications

• Connector type: SMA female panel-mount socket with flange
• Finish: gold-plated contact surfaces and housing elements
• Mounting: flange mounting for front-panel installation
• Coupling: threaded SMA coupling compatible with standard SMA plugs
• Pack quantity: five identical connectors
• Typical application frequency range: RF use in typical SMA bandwidths (DC to several GHz)

How to use

Prepare a matching cutout in the equipment panel sized for the flange and align the connector so the mounting holes match the panel fasteners. Secure the flange with appropriate screws or bolts and, if required, use washers or lock hardware to prevent loosening in vibrating environments. Attach SMA coaxial cables by threading SMA plugs onto the socket until hand-tight; avoid over-torquing to prevent thread damage. Ensure mating plugs and cables are clean and free of debris before connection to maintain low insertion loss and reliable performance.

Recommendations

For consistent RF performance, use high-quality SMA cable assemblies with matching characteristic impedance and, when possible, verify connections with appropriate test instruments. Protect unused sockets with dust caps and avoid excessive mechanical stress on cables at the panel entry to prolong connector life.
