This is a great connector for anyone doing RF work, when an SMA connector is required. It hugs the edge of a "half thickness" 0.031" thick PCB (or thinner!) and 'launches' off of the edge. We like these for their ease of soldering and low profile. Mates with any SMA plug, we also have an SMA to RP-SMA in case your antenna is RP-SMA
You can find an Eagle footprint for this part in the Adafruit Eagle Library, it's called SMA_EDGELAUNCH
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- RF
- RF means radio frequency, referring to signals used for wireless communication and other high-frequency electronics. A low-noise, stable power supply is important for RF circuits because power noise can affect signal quality and measurements.
- SMA
- SMA is a small threaded coaxial (RF) connector widely used to attach antennas and other radio-frequency cables. A device with SMA antenna ports needs antennas or pigtails with matching SMA connectors, or a suitable adapter, to connect to them.
