finding footprint for RF connector model

[yefj]

Hello, In the datasheet shown below they sat that the RF connector is CONN,SMA,FEM,W/.500 FLNG.
When i tried to google it i could find such model.
what is the formal name, so i could find its foot print in digikey?
Thanks.

This is the SMA connector used:

Hello Vfone,I am trying to enter the name you gave into the mouser and digikey filters.given the digikey mouser category filter how do i find this connector so i'll get the footprint file?

I think, best fit is "STRAIGHT FEMALE SQUARE FLANGE RECEPTACLES - FLAT TAB", here from Radiall.

Drilling down the supplier search engines does not yield the best results.

It is better to simply search the description "CONN,SMA,FEM,W/.500 FLNG"

and/or without abbreviations Connector, SMA, Female with 0.5 " Flange and then add max GHz or End-launch for more complex connectors with better control and more precision ($$).

These may include OEM's with stock in the major distributors, then you may learn how they sort the categories.
e.g.

1. All Products
2. Connectors
3. MIL-Spec / MIL-Type
4. RF Mil Spec Connectors
5. Amphenol / SV Microwave M39012/60-3001

Hello,maybe its best to build the footprint by mysef ,but i dont have datasheet for the connector shown below.

Obviously this connector doesn't fit the shown PCB due to protruding teflon insulator.

Obviously this connector doesn't fit the shown PCB due to protruding teflon insulator.

It may be possible to use this with a precision U shape ground clamped over the protrusion or better a thick gnd. plate for case mounting. The price is certainly attractive but test verification is essential.

I'm reading the thread so that yefi is looking for a connector that fits the original PCB design. It's clearly similar to post #4, Fig.2.

The rigidity of the connector becomes far more critical if the wavelength is below 10x the connector size.
