RF Coaxial Connectors

[bashekmagroh]

Hi
I already fabricate my PCB and am using Microstrip board called RT Duroid 5880 .
and i need to by 2 connectors as 2 ports for my design . So what type of connectors I have to buy ?
the port have to be 50 ohm .
I found SMA edge mount connectors but am not so sure if its suitable for my board .
tnx in advance

Always you should consider the connector before you fabricate the PCB.

What is your substrate height?

As you have fabricated the PCB, try RCA socket or F or Mini UHF (SO239) sockets.

As far as i know SMA are the most common connector. But you know, all depends on size, application...

What is your max. operating frrequency ??
What is you substrate thickness ?

tony_lth .... the high is 0.84 mm
BigBoss ......max operating is 5 GHZ and the subtrate thickness is 0.84mm

Then you can find SMA which distance between center pin and ground pin is 0.84mm. If the distance is longer than 0.84mm, you can try to find some conductor between the gap, say copper etc.
