Straight and right-angle F type connectors, coax cable ends and equipment jacks

F Type Connector Installation Guide

The cable is marked RG6. The connector bag is also marked RG6. Yet the connector stops halfway onto the cable, or it compresses with a sleeve that still feels loose. That is not unusual. “RG6” is not enough information to approve an...
Different RF antenna coax connector types and sizes

Antenna Coax Connector Selection Guide

A cable assembly can fit the antenna, tighten correctly, and still be the wrongRF part. That usually happens because the antenna coax connector was selected as a visible interface rather than as one element in the complete RF path. The buyer checks “SMA male,” “N...

Coax Adapter Compatibility Guide

A coax adapter can screw into both ports perfectly and still be the wrong part. That problem appears more often than buyers expect. A technician identifies one side as SMA, sees BNC on the other device, orders an SMA-to-BNC adapter, and assumes the job is...
TNC bulkhead to SMA pigtail cable assembly

TNC to SMA Cable Selection Guide

A TNC-to-SMA connection can look correct on the bench and still be a poor installation. The threads mate, continuity passes, and the first RF check may even look acceptable. Then the assembly is installed in an enclosure. A heavier cable pulls sideways on the SMA...
Gold-plated right angle SMB crimp connector for coaxial cable

Right Angle SMB Connector Design Guide

A right-angle connector can solve a packaging problem and create a different one at the same time. A common case looks simple in CAD: the PCB has an SMB port, the enclosure is shallow, and a right angle SMB connector appears to save height. The...
Right-angle SMB connectors on an RG316 coax cable jumper

SMB Cable Connector Termination Guide

An SMB connector can mate correctly, pass a continuity check, and still be the wrong cable termination. The problem usually starts at the rear of the connector, not at the SMB mating interface. A buyer sees “SMB connector for RG174,” the production team sees a...
Gold-plated right-angle SMB PCB mount connector with through-hole terminals

SMB Bulkhead Connector Mounting Guide

A bulkhead connector can look correct in the purchasing photo and still fail at the panel. The usual problem is not the SMB mating end. It is everything behind it: the threaded barrel is too short for the finished enclosure, the shoulder does not pass...
BNC male to SMC female miniature RF coaxial cable assembly

SMB to SMA Cable Selection Guide

A cable assembly can pass continuity and still be the wrong RF part. This happens more often than many buyers expect. The SMB connector snaps into place, the SMA interface matches the external equipment, and the first prototype works on the bench. The problem appears...
SMB to SMA male RF adapter with straight gold-plated body

SMB to SMA Adapter Selection Guide

How can you avoid ordering the wrong SMB to SMA adapter? A straight SMB to SMA male adapter provides a compact transition between snap-on and threaded RF interfaces. A connector can physically mate and still be the wrong RF component.
SMA female bulkhead connector with nut washer and sealing O-ring

MCX to SMA Adapter Integration Guide

The adapter fitted. The continuity test passed. Then the RF level changed every time the SMA cable moved. That failure is easy to misdiagnose as a bad antenna or unstable device port. In practice, a rigid MCX to SMA adapter can create both an electrical...
UHF male to SMA female coaxial adapter shown from front and back

SMA Female to Female Adapter Test Guide

Two SMA male cables may thread into the same coupler and still create the wrong RF connection. The problem is rarely visible during a quick bench check. Continuity passes. Both coupling nuts tighten. The signal reaches the other side. Then the assembled path is swept...
SMA straight right-angle bulkhead and flange connector styles for cable assemblies

SMA Cable Assembly Specification Guide

A cable assembly can pass continuity and still be the wrong RF part. When should a standard build become a custom SMA cable assembly?The mistake is common because the assembly looks simple: two SMA connectors and a length of coax. The first sample may even...
