Hello all,
I've messed up a circuit just a little by ordering the wrong kinds of connectors. I expected male and female terms to refer to either insede or outside threads, hoewver now I can see that there are four types of SMA connector and I pictured them all at
Could somebody please tell me the names of each type so I can order them correctly this time? Maplin do not stock all the types i need :(
Thank you Adam
What combination of this is supposed to work? In the meantime suggest you look at the connectors here:-
thanks for the response. All together i have made an extremely rough looking drawing at
from your link, i think i need
3 x CON-SMA-200-PLUG (male pin) 1 x CON-RSMA-200-PLUG (male connector with female pin) on the aircraftTahnks a lot, your link really helped me
Adam
Try to avoid using Male and Female. Plug and Receptacle are somewhat less confusing.
404. URL not found, even after fixing the line wrap. Wrap it in < >and perhaps your news program won't butcher the URL.
Nice picture of a sunset at:
should be a space between "SMA" and "types".
Thanks, I only use the site for fiddling with code
1 and 3 are RP-SMA (reverse polarized SMA). 2 and 4 are ordinary SMA connectors.
You might find it useful to have some adapters and barrels handy:
those sma connectors are a bitch, as are many other connectors. If I were you I wouldn't count on using the correct names when ordering, there's so much confusion out there. Having made the same mistake as you I never ever order connectors these days unless the supplier provides a nice big clear picture of what I'm buying. Some sellers on ebay provide really good pictures so there's little chance of errors.
