RF Connector of various types
This page lists rf connector of various types including frequency of operation, diameter and applications.It include SMA,N type,BNC,TNC,F,FME,MCX,SMB,SMP,QMA connectors and more.
| RF Connector Type | Frequency of operation | Diameter | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMA connector | DC to 18 GHz | 0.26 inch diameter | RF testing. Used in various wireless products VSAT subsystems, WLAN, WiMAX, LTE, Zigbee etc. 50 Ohm impedance. |
| N type connector | DC to 18 GHz | about 0.8 inch Male,0.55 inch Female | 50 ohm used for cellular and wireless. 75 Ohm used in CATV systems. |
| BNC connector | DC to 3 GHz | About 0.57 inch male type | Video signal interface, avionics and for test equipments. |
| TNC connector | DC to 11 GHz | 0.59 inch male type | Routers, Base stations, radar, mobile phones etc. 50 Ohm is mostly used. |
| FME connector | DC to 2 GHz | About 0.2677 inch FME Jack | As the name 'For Mobile Equipment' is used for Mobile applications. Used with RG 58, RG 174 cables. Impedance 50 Ohm. |
| F connector | DC to 1 GHz | 0.43 in Male type | Used for 75 Ohm systems. All types of television systems such as terrestrial, satellite and cable. |
| MCX/MMCX/SSMCX connector | DC to 6 GHz | 0.14 in plug type MCX type, MMCX is smaller than MCX type, SSMCX is smaller than MMCX type. | Mainly 50 Ohm, MCX and MMCX are used in antennas and for GPS. SSMCX is used in WLAN, M2M, MRI, audio/video, telecommunications. |
| SMP connector | DC to 40 GHz | 0.145 inch diameter, SMP female | It tolerates axial and radial misalignments and maintained good performance. It helps connecting two modules or boards without the use of cables. |
| SMB/SSMB connector | DC to 4 GHz | About 0.219 in 50 Ohm straight jack SMB type, SSMB is smaller than SMB | 50 Ohm used for circuit miniaturization, 75 Ohm used in broadband and switching applications. |
| QMA connector | DC to 18 GHz | 0.41 in straight cable Plug, 0.22 in straight cable Jack | Allows cable routing 360 degree. Used in cellular, antennas |
| BMA connector | About DC-22 GHz | Approx. same size as SMA type | 50 Ohm, satellite, microwave, radar |
| UHF connector | DC to 300 MHz | About 0.7 inch UHF type | radio |
