FAQs:
What is an SMB connector?
An SMB (SubMiniature version B) connector is a type of RF (Radio Frequency) connector used for connecting coaxial cables to various electronic devices. It is known for its compact size, high reliability, and secure snap-on coupling.
What is the frequency range of SMB connectors?
SMB connectors typically support frequencies up to 4 GHz.
What is the impedance of a standard SMB connector?
SMB connectors have an impedance of 50 ohms and 75 ohms, making them ideal for use in RF applications where matching impedance is critical to maintaining signal integrity.
What materials are SMB connectors made from?
SMB connectors are generally made from brass or copper, with gold-plated or nickel-plated for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance. The insulators are commonly made from teflon materials.
