[NLRS] SMA connectors

[Baker, Donn B]

Hi Mike,
The connector should have instructions with it.  It will vary (slightly) =
from connector to connector. =20

For the E.F. Johnson connectors I use (142-0694-16), the extension is =
0.085 inches.  The end is "sharpened" with a flat needle file =
(carefully).  These are nickel-plated, two piece connctors for RG-402 =
(0.141) semi-rigid cable. They're rated to 26.5 GHz (!) with semi-rigid =
cable.  There are similar connectors for 0.085 semi-rigid.

Digi-Key has them for $0.89 each, w/price break at 10 and 50 units.  =
Data sheet:

-011,%20142-0694-016.pdf>

Hope this helps.

Hi all, I'm looking for a little wisdom.  When you use the kind of sma=20
connector that just has a piece that solders onto the U141 and uses the=20
u141 center conductor as the center pin, how do you sharpen the center=20
pin?  Also what are the dimensions for how far the pin sticks out?

Thanks
Mike
