Sub-Miniature
|
1.0 / 2.3
|
1.0 / 2.3 coaxial connectors require sub-miniature 50Ω slide-on or screw-on connectors.
|
|
|
50 Ω and 75Ω
|
Designed telecommunications systems
|
MCX
|
Miniature coaxial (MCX) provide good electrical performance and are used to address the rapid implementation of the U.S. digital cellular PCN infrastructure.
|
Miniature
|
Provide broadband capability through 6 GHz
|
50 Ω and 75Ω
|
Used in applications where weight and physical space are limited. MCX connectors are also used in global positioning systems (GPS) and wireless LAN (WLAN) applications.
|
SSMB
|
Sub-SMB (SSMB) connectors are 30% smaller than SMB connectors.
|
30% smaller than SMB connectors
|
35GHz
|
50Ω
|
Well-suited for board-to-board applications and are designed for use with semi-rigid cables.
|
SMA
|
Subminiature-A (SMA) directly interface the cable dielectric without air gaps. They are not intended for permanent connections.
|
|
DC to 18GHz
|
50Ω
|
SMA connectors are intended for use on semi-rigid cables in components.
|
SMC
|
Subminiature C (SMC) connectors accept flexible cables with diameters as large as 3.17 mm or 0.125".
|
Smaller than SMA connectors
|
7 to 10 GHz.
|
50Ω or 75Ω devices
|
Base stations, telecom, GPS, radios, WLAN, automotive
|
SMB
|
Subminiature-N (SMB) connectors are snap-mount connectors.
|
|
DC to 4GHz.
|
Either in 50Ω or 75Ω impedances.
|
Base stations, telecom, GPS, radios, WLAN, automotive
|
SSMA
|
Sub-SMA (SSMA) connectors are 30% smaller than standard SMA connectors.
|
Miniaturized SMA
