[NLRS] SMA launch connectors

[tosca005]

Hello, all.

If necessary, I'll guess and/or improvise.  But I figured I might as well
make at least one attempt to use the "right" part for the job. . .

I need to install two SMA launch connectors on a PyroJoseph 60 watt power
amplifier board (pulled from a Spectrian 180 watt amplifier that used three
of them.)  The instructions he provides say that the board will mate up to
"a standard SMA or N launch connector", and that's about it on that
subject.  I figured that "standard" was "standard", and it would be
reasonably easy to find the parts I needed.

The parts listings at Digi-Key are surprisingly less helpful than I would
have expected.

They list part numbers: (Digi-Key / Johnson Components)
  J502-ND / 142-0701-801 Gold plated   0.062" board thickness
  J716-ND / 142-0701-806 Nickel plated 0.062" board thickness
  J629-ND / 142-0711-821 Gold plated   0.062" board thickness
  J657-ND / 142-0701-881 Gold plated   0.031" board thickness
  J658-ND / 142-0701-851 Gold plated   0.062" board thickness
  J630-ND / 142-0701-841 Gold plated   0.042" board thickness
  J610-ND / 142-0701-871 Gold plated   0.062" board thickness
  J631-ND / 142-0721-881 Gold plated   ??     board thickness

They also list a bunch of part numbers in the range of J797-ND through
J807-ND that are also board edge launch connectors, but they provide no
description of how they differ from one another or from the other parts
listed above.  On these, I tried looking directly on the Johnson Components
web site, and the "Johnson Part Numbers" listed by Digi-Key are not found
on the Johnson web site.

These listings come from "Catalog Page 294" on the Digi-Key web site,
augmented with some information obtained from the Johnson Components web
site.

Further adding to my dilemma is that the board plus its integral copper
heat spreader are 0.100" thick (according to my digital caliper), which
appears to be too thick for any of the parts listed for which I can
determine the design's board thickness design rating.

If you've put one or more of these boards into service, what did you use
for SMA connectors?  Did you have to hack up some of the copper heat
spreader or bend the SMA "legs" to make it fit, or did you find a part that
is actually made for this board thickness, or . . . ?

Thanks in advance.
