Female to female FT connectors provide fast and easy assembly

Cliff Electronics announces the latest addition to their popular range of FeedThrough (FT) connectors.

The new CP30260 range of SMA and RP-SMA (reverse polarity SMA) connectors are female to female FT connectors providing fast and easy assembly as no soldering is required to connect equipment to external signals.

The standard Impedance of 50Ὠ and frequency range up to 18 GHz have a secure, low loss threaded connection making them idea for applications including RF communication systems (Wi-Fi, LTE, GPS), telecom, broadcast, AV equipment, aerospace and defence electronics and they are ideal for microwave systems and antennas, RF signal routing and test equipment.

The new SMA and RP-SMA FT connectors are gold plated with a Teflon insulator, have an operating temperature range of  -30°C to +80°C and are available in industry standard  XLR shell, or the compact DualSLIM frame for equipment where panel space is at a premium. Both versions offer multiple frame and mounting options of plastic, metal or black metal, with either plain, countersunk or threaded mounting holes. The SMA and RP-SMA connectors can be assembled in any of Cliff’s FT frames upon request.

Cliff Electronics range of FeedThrough connectors now offers analogue, digital and optical connectivity in formats including BNC (50 or 75 ohm), MMC, DisplayPort, HDMI, Optical fibre (FC, LC Duplex, SC Simplex, ST BFOC, TOSLINK and US Conec MTP brand MPO), RCA phono, RJ45 ethernet (UTP or FTP) in Cat6, Cat6a or Cat5e, USB 2, USB 3 and USB-C.
