The QMA Female (FC14CRF-B01-5) is a quick-lock RF connector designed for applications requiring rapid and reliable connections up to 18 GHz. As a variant of the standard SMA connector, the QMA series offers similar internal construction but with a snap-on interface, facilitating faster installations and improved flexibility.
Key Features:
- Impedance: 50 Ohms
- Frequency Range: DC to 18 GHz
- Coupling Mechanism: Snap-on quick-lock
- Body Material and Finish: Typically made from brass with a durable finish
- Contact Material and Finish: Gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity
- Insulator Material: PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
- Mating Cycles: Minimum of 100 cycles
- Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C
Advantages:
- Rapid Installation: The snap-on design allows for connections up to 10 times faster than traditional SMA connectors.
- High Packing Density: Elimination of the coupling nut enables closer spacing between connectors, optimizing space on densely populated panels.
- 360-Degree Rotation: Once mated, the connector can rotate freely, providing flexibility in cable management without compromising performance.
Applications:
- Antennas: Ideal for antenna connections in wireless communication systems.
- Base Stations: Commonly used in cellular base stations due to their quick installation and reliable performance.
- GPS Equipment: Suitable for GPS devices requiring stable and high-frequency connections.
