SMC M RA LMR 100 CRIMP is a male SMC connector that has a right-angle design, intended for use with LMR-100 coaxial cables. It utilizes a crimping mechanism to ensure a secure and reliable connection. “SMC” refers to the SMC series, known for its compact design and good performance in high-frequency applications. “M” indicates that the connector is male, meaning it has external pins or contacts that mate with female connectors. “RA” stands for “Right-Angle,” meaning the connector features a 90-degree angle to facilitate installation in confined or space-limited areas. “LMR 100” specifies compatibility with LMR-100 coaxial cables, which are used in various RF and communication systems. “CRIMP” denotes that the connector uses a crimping mechanism for attaching to the cable. Specifications Connector Type: SMC Male Right-Angle LMR 100 Crimp: A male SMC connector with a right-angle design, intended for LMR-100 coaxial cables, using a crimping mechanism for attachment. Pin Configuration: Crimp Pin: The connector includes a crimp pin that attaches to the center conductor of the LMR-100 cable. Crimping provides a secure electrical connection. Material: Body: Typically made from high-quality metals such as brass or stainless steel, often plated with 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-100: Designed specifically for LMR-100 coaxial cables, which are widely used in RF and communication applications. Impedance: 50 Ohms: The connector is usually designed for a 50-ohm impedance, matching the LMR-100 cable to ensure minimal signal reflection and optimal performance. Frequency Range: High Frequency: Suitable for high-frequency applications, typically effective up to several GHz, depending on the specific connector design. Installation: Crimping: The connector is attached to the cable using a crimping tool. The crimping process secures the center conductor and the shield of the cable. Right-Angle Design: The 90-degree angle helps in installations where space is constrained, allowing for better cable management and routing. Tools Required: A crimping tool is necessary for proper installation. Applications: Communication Systems: Ideal for RF communication systems including antennas, transmitters, receivers, and other high-frequency equipment. Broadcasting: Suitable for broadcast equipment where reliable signal transmission is crucial. General RF Applications: Useful in various RF applications where a robust and space-efficient connector is required. Advantages Space-Efficient Design: The right-angle design is beneficial for installations in tight or confined spaces. Secure Connection: The crimping mechanism ensures a stable and reliable connection, essential for maintaining signal integrity. Durable Construction: Made from high-quality materials to withstand environmental conditions and mechanical stress. High-Frequency Performance: Designed to handle high-frequency signals with minimal signal loss and interference.
