3.5mm Male Crimping Connector for LMR400 Coaxial Cable

Overview

The 3.5 mm connector is a precision 50 Ohm RF coaxial connector designed for high-frequency performance up to 34 GHz. It was developed as a durable, precision-grade upgrade to the SMA series, offering excellent electrical repeatability and mechanical stability for test and measurement, microwave, and communication systems. With a robust air-dielectric structure and stainless-steel body, the 3.5 mm connector delivers low VSWR, minimal insertion loss, and superior return loss across its entire frequency range. Its threaded coupling mechanism ensures secure mating even under vibration, while maintaining compatibility with 2.92 mm (K) and SMA connectors. Ideal for precision instrumentation, radar, and 5G/mmWave applications, the 3.5 mm connector provides a reliable and long-life interface for demanding RF and microwave environments.

FAQ

Sample Delivery Time

Regular models require 15 days, while some complex connectors require 25 days.

Sample Fee

Most RF connectors are CNC-machined parts and do not require mold-making.

However, each part needs to be fine-tuned on the CNC machine. Typically, a single sample costs $200.

This fee will be refunded after a 5K bulk order.

Guarantee

Brass RF connectors come with a one-year warranty.

Stainless steel connectors come with a three-year warranty.

The lifespan also depends on the contact material—beryllium contacts offer better durability.

What is the difference between RF connectors and coaxial connectors?

They are often used interchangeably. However: Coaxial connector refers to the physical design (shielded cylindrical form). RF connector emphasizes its use in radio-frequency applications. Most RF connectors are coaxial.

What is "reverse polarity" (RP-SMA, RP-TNC)?

Reverse polarity means the gender of the center pin is swapped while keeping the outer body style unchanged. It was introduced to comply with regulatory requirements in Wi-Fi devices and to prevent connection with standard SMA/TNC.
