SMC F RA LMR 100 CRIMP is a female SMC connector intended for LMR-100 coaxial cables, with a right-angle design that facilitates installation in tight spaces. It uses a crimping method to secure the connection to the cable. “SMC” refers to the SubMiniature version C series, which is known for its compact size and reliable performance in high-frequency applications. “F” indicates that the connector is female, featuring internal contacts that interface with male connectors. “RA” stands for “Right-Angle,” indicating that the connector is designed with a 90-degree bend to facilitate space-saving installations. “LMR 100” specifies compatibility with LMR-100 coaxial cables. “CRIMP” denotes that the connector uses a crimping method for attachment to the cable. Specifications Connector Type: SMC Female Right-Angle LMR 100 Crimp: A female SMC connector designed for use with LMR-100 coaxial cables, featuring a right-angle design and utilizing a crimping mechanism. Pin Configuration: Crimp Socket: Includes a crimp socket that attaches to the center conductor of the LMR-100 cable, ensuring a secure and reliable electrical connection. Material: Body: Typically constructed from robust materials such as brass or stainless steel, often with nickel or gold plating to enhance conductivity and resist corrosion. Contacts: Internal contacts are made from high-conductivity metals and may be plated to reduce signal loss. Cable Compatibility: LMR-100: Designed to work with LMR-100 coaxial cables, which are commonly used in RF applications. Impedance: 50 Ohms: Usually designed for a 50-ohm impedance to match the LMR-100 cable and ensure optimal signal integrity. Frequency Range: High Frequency: Suitable for high-frequency applications, typically effective up to several GHz, depending on the connector design. Installation: Crimping: The connector is attached using a crimping tool. This process secures the center conductor and the shield of the cable to the connector. Right-Angle Design: The 90-degree angle allows for better routing in confined or tight spaces, improving cable management. Tools Required: Installation requires a crimping tool. Applications: Communication Systems: Ideal for RF communication systems, including antennas, transmitters, and receivers. Broadcasting: Used in broadcast equipment where reliable signal transmission is necessary. General RF Applications: Suitable for various RF applications requiring a compact and reliable connector.
