Description
Pasternack’s PE9621 SMA male to SMA female bulkhead 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. Our
SMA to SMA adapter has a male to female gender configuration. PE9621 SMA male to SMA female adapter operates to 18
GHz. The Pasternack RF adapter provides good VSWR of 1.3:1 maximum. This RF SMA to SMA bulkhead adapter allows
designers to create external connections on their product enclosures, and can be used in a variety of other rack mount and
panel mount applications.
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.
