Female to female FT connectors providing fast and easy assembly

Cliff Electronics announce 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.

"With the growth of high-frequency and RF-centric systems across many industries, there's a clear demand for compact, high-performance SMA connectors that are easy to install and integrate," said John Hall, Managing Director of CLIFF Electronics. "The CP30260 range is our response—offering engineers a rugged, solderless feedthrough solution that fits into standard XLR panel cutouts."
