Overview

The SMA-J-P-H-ST-EM1 is a high-frequency SMA jack from Samtec designed for 50 Ohm RF systems. This board edge, end launch connector is rated for operation up to 20 GHz, making it suitable for high-speed signal integrity applications and microwave communications. It features a gold-plated housing and threaded fastening for secure, repeatable connections.

Why Choose This Part

The end-launch configuration minimizes signal discontinuity at the PCB-to-connector interface compared to through-hole versions. Supporting frequencies up to 20 GHz, it provides significant headroom for most RF and high-speed digital designs while maintaining a standard 50 Ohm impedance.

Applications

RF Prototyping
Used on evaluation boards to provide high-performance transition from PCB traces to coaxial cables up to 20 GHz.
High-Speed Digital Test
Serves as an interface for clock signals and high-speed data lanes in laboratory test fixtures.
Wireless Infrastructure
Integration into compact wireless base stations and communication modules requiring end-launch PCB mounting.
