Why choose it

This connector offers stable electrical performance up to 10 GHz with low VSWR, making it suitable for high-frequency signal integrity. The gold-plated center contact ensures low contact resistance and corrosion resistance, while the nickel-plated brass body provides durability and a clean appearance.

Ideal use cases

• Panel-mounted RF connections in test and measurement equipment
• Compact radio communication devices
• Antenna feedthroughs on enclosures
• Custom RF cable assemblies

Good to know

The SMC interface is a miniature threaded connector, smaller than SMA, often used where space is limited. The solder termination requires basic soldering skills and appropriate tools. The panel mount design allows direct mounting on a chassis or panel with a maximum thickness of 3.2 mm.
