SMC F RA LMR 200 CRIMP is a female SMC connector that connects to LMR-200 coaxial cables. The connector features a right-angle design and is designed to be crimped onto the cable for a secure connection. “SMC” stands for SubMiniature version C, a series of connectors known for their compact size and reliable performance in high-frequency applications. “F” indicates that the connector is female, meaning it has internal contacts that mate with male connectors. “RA” stands for “Right-Angle,” referring to the connector’s 90-degree angle, which helps in routing cables in tight or confined spaces. “LMR 200” specifies compatibility with LMR-200 coaxial cables, which are used in various RF and communication applications. “CRIMP” indicates that the connector employs a crimping method for securing it to the cable. Specifications Connector Type: SMC Female Right-Angle LMR 200 Crimp: A female SMC connector designed for LMR-200 coaxial cables, featuring a right-angle design and utilizing a crimping mechanism for attachment. Pin Configuration: Crimp Socket: The connector has a crimp socket that attaches to the center conductor of the LMR-200 cable. Crimping ensures a secure and reliable connection. Material: Body: Typically made from durable materials such as brass or stainless steel, often with plating like nickel or gold to enhance conductivity and resist corrosion. Contacts: Internal contacts are made from high-conductivity metals and may be plated to minimize signal loss. Cable Compatibility: LMR-200: Designed specifically for LMR-200 coaxial cables, which are widely used in RF and communication systems.
