Coaxial connectors of the SMA series were created in the 1960s for use in high-frequency microwave applications. Their screw-type mating mechanism, which enables a safe connection between two SMA connectors, gives them their name. SMA connectors are often used in a wide range of industries, such as telecommunications, networking, military and aerospace, as well as medical equipment.
SMA connections are often terminated by crimping with RG174, RG316, RG178, and LMR100 coax cables, for better return loss and mechanical connection, soldering ternimation also available.
RG178 Coaxial Cable
Originally created for military use during World War II, "RG" stands for "Radio Guide." The gauge, or thickness, of the cable is indicated by the RG number. A coax cable's core conductor is normally thinner when the RG number is higher. Overall larger diameters are mostly the result of the cable's insulating layers and result in less signal attenuation across longer lengths of wire.
The MIL-DTL-17 specifications are followed in the production of RG178 cables, which are intended for use in high-temperature applications.
Radio frequency communications, data transfer, wireless communication, and direct burial are all possible uses for the RG178 coax cable. GPS systems, PDAs, security devices, mobile phones, broadcast devices, remote controls, and more are examples of more particular uses.
Silver-plated copper braid shields, stranded copper conductors, a PTFE dielectric, and a FEP jacket are all components of RG178. For small applications, a thin, flexible cable with a conductor diameter of 0.30mm and a jacket diameter of 1.80mm is used.
Install Procedure
LenoRF's 'SMA plug solder for RG178 cable assembly' has a excellent electrical performance and reliable mechanical capacity .
We use a brass sleeve solder with pin first, then brass sleeve solder with SMA body,the design makes it simple for field workers to assemble cables due to RG178 is a very thin cable, and solder termination always performs better than crimping in terms of
return loss, retention force, etc.
Step.1
Strip the cable as drawing and braid of cable dipping with Tin.
Step.2
Assembly part 2,3,4 and solder with cable and sleeve.
Our company, Zhejiang LenoRF Industry co. LTD, occupies an area of 30 hectares and is equipped with world class equipment to make millimeter wave connectors and phase stable cables. We specialize in coaxial connectors, cable assembly, and passive devices. Our current products are the latest millimeter wave connector and phase stable cable on the market.
