Review on πŸ”Œ SMA-UHF Connector Kit: 2 Sets RF Coaxial Adapter, SMA to UHF PL259 SO239 Jack/Plug, Nickel Gold Plated Test Converter - Pack of 8 by Emily Perkins

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Force required to insert Scary SMA Jack

SMA jacks require tremendous force to insert. It looks like the spring force on the middle seat is way higher than it should (should). It took me a while to work up the courage to fully mate one of them. I was afraid the center pins would not line up and I would end up damaging the mating connector. Also the dielectric around the SO239 socket is not standard. There is a lot of air with a ring of physical dielectric. I can only hope they corrected this with the center diameter and dielectric constant. Otherwise it will be internally inductive. I wouldn't buy them again.

Pros
  • Package Contents: 2 sets of 4 UHF SMA Type-x Adapters
Cons
  • Lots of things
