Description
Pasternack’s PE9774 precision QD SMA male to SMA female adapter is part of our full line of RF components available for
same-day shipping. The SMA connector mates mechanically with commercially available 3.5mm and 2.92mm (K) connectors.
The SMA connector mates mechanically with commercially available 3.5mm and 2.92mm (K) connectors. Our SMA to SMA
adapter has a male to female gender configuration in a precision design. PE9774 SMA male to SMA female adapter operates
to 18 GHz. The Pasternack RF adapter provides excellent VSWR of 1.14:1 maximum.
RF adapters are often used to enable connections between two connector types that would otherwise not mate. Certain
adapter configurations can also be used to protect connectors on expensive equipment where the number of connect/
disconnect cycles is high. An RF, microwave or millimeter wave adapter is connected to the equipment, and the commonly
changed connection is made with the adapter which can be easily replaced when it wears out after high usage; such adapters
are referred to as connector savers. Pasternack also offers bulkhead, panel mount, hermetically sealed, reverse polarity, and
isolated ground adapter varieties to serve all of your RF, microwave and millimeter wave needs.
