Description

This SMA female to stripping head cable is a fundamental RF interconnect for IoT and wireless development. The SMA female connector provides a threaded, secure connection to male SMA ports commonly found on external antennas, RF modules, and test equipment. The opposite end terminates in a stripping head, giving developers the flexibility to solder directly to a circuit board, attach a different connector, or integrate into a custom enclosure.

Constructed with RG1.13 coaxial cable, it offers a balance of flexibility and performance, suitable for lab bench setups, prototype devices, or field installations where a short, reliable RF link is required. The 50-ohm impedance matching is critical for minimizing signal reflection and loss, especially in sensitive RF applications involving Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE, GPS, or LoRa communication.

Key Features

  • Standard SMA Interface: Female SMA connector with central receptacle and external threading for secure mating with male SMA jacks.
  • Prototyping Flexibility: Stripping head allows for direct soldering to PCB traces or connection to screw terminals, enabling custom integration.
  • Broad Frequency Compatibility: 50-ohm impedance and PTFE dielectric support operation from DC up to 18GHz, covering most IoT wireless bands.
  • Robust Mechanical Design: Rated for 500 coupling cycles with proper torque application, ensuring long-term reliability in development and deployment.
  • Precise Cable Specifications: Uses 11mm RG1.13 coaxial cable, offering a known diameter and flexibility for routing in enclosures.

Applications

  • Antenna Extension: Connect an external antenna to a router, cellular modem, or Wi-Fi module with an SMA male port.
  • RF Prototyping: Solder the stripping head to a development board (e.g., ESP32, LoRa module) to attach a removable antenna.
  • Test & Measurement: Use as a short adapter cable for connecting RF test equipment to devices under test.
  • Custom Device Integration: Provide a wired antenna connection inside a product enclosure where a fixed cable is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the stripping head on this cable used for?

The stripping head exposes the central conductor and shielding of the coaxial cable, allowing you to solder it directly to printed circuit board (PCB) pads, terminal blocks, or other connection points. This is ideal for permanently integrating an antenna connection into a custom project or prototype where a standard connector cannot be mounted. Ensure a clean solder joint to maintain the 50-ohm impedance path.

Is this cable compatible with my 2.4GHz Wi-Fi router or LoRa module?

Yes, this cable is fully compatible. Its 50-ohm impedance and frequency rating up to 18GHz cover common IoT bands like 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, 868/915MHz LoRa, and cellular frequencies. The SMA female connector will mate directly with male SMA antenna ports found on many routers, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules (ESP32), LoRa nodes, and 4G modems. For optimal performance, keep the cable as short as possible and avoid sharp bends.

How do I properly connect and disconnect the SMA connector to avoid damage?

To achieve the rated 500 mating cycles, hand-tighten the SMA connector firmly until snug. Avoid using pliers or excessive force. The recommended torque is typically 5-8 inch-pounds (0.56-0.9 Nm). Over-tightening can deform the threads or center pin, while under-tightening can cause signal loss. Always grip the connector body, not the cable, when connecting or disconnecting to prevent strain on the solder joints inside.
