Waterproof RF coaxial connectors

16 September 2009 Interconnection

Radiall has expanded its QMA product line with new high density RF coaxial waterproof QMA (WQMA) connector solutions with fast and easy snap-on Quick Lock technology. They offer good electrical performance and have environmental characteristics that provide for long lasting durability needed for demanding outdoor applications, eliminating the need for costly and bulky watertight enclosures or cable entries.

WQMA connectors are an alternative to traditional SMA connectors for applications up to 6 GHz and provide high density and quick connections within and to RF modules. In addition, they are fully intermateable and backward compatible with any QLF certified standard QMA jack and they provide for excellent ingress protection that is IP68 rated when mated. They are RoHS compliant, have enhanced corrosion resistance and feature 100 matings minimum for durability, a full range of straight and right angle options, a wide temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and a power rating 200 W at 1 GHz, 75°C. They are available for most popular cables as well as for a broad range of panel sealed QMA jacks in different configurations.

WQMA connectors support numerous outdoor applications such as portable test and GPS equipment, RFID, wireless surveillance cameras, base stations, handhelds as well as interconnections between modules and antennas needed for Wi-Fi, WiMax, 3G, 4G and more.
