This PCB edge-mount SMA RF connector is made for adding an antenna connection directly to your circuit board. It is a handy choice for prototyping wireless designs that need a standard SMA antenna interface.

The connector is suited to GPS and cellular projects, where a robust RF antenna connection is required at the edge of the PCB. Each connector has a female signal pin and mates correctly with original SMA type antennas.

Supplier documentation includes a mechanical drawing to help with PCB layout and mechanical fit checks.

Features:

PCB edge-mount SMA RF connector
Suitable for prototyping with GPS devices that require an antenna connection
Suitable for prototyping with cellular devices that require an antenna connection
Equipped with a female signal pin
Correctly mates with original SMA type antennas

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

GPS: The US satellite navigation system used by GNSS receivers to calculate position and time. Support for GPS is important because it is widely available and often used together with other constellations for more reliable positioning.
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.
