Rf Industries RSA-3472 Straight Adaptor from SMA Female to TNC Male Connector Nickel Gold PTFE

The RF Industries RSA-3472 is a straight RF adapter designed to bridge SMA female and TNC male interfaces in a single in-line configuration. Built with a nickel-plated body, gold pin contact, and PTFE dielectric, it delivers reliable signal integrity and low-loss interconnection between equipment and cabling that use these two common coaxial connector families. The combination of gold contact plating and PTFE dielectric material supports consistent electrical performance and resistance to oxidation at the mating interface, making this adapter well-suited for laboratory, field, and rack-mounted telecom and wireless infrastructure applications where connector-type transitions are required.

Key features & benefits

• SMA Female to TNC Male Interface — Provides a direct, in-line conversion from an SMA female port to a TNC male connector, eliminating the need for custom cabling when interconnecting equipment with differing interface standards.
• Nickel-Plated Body — The nickel body plating offers durability and corrosion resistance across the outer shell of the adapter, supporting long service life in both indoor and light-duty field environments.
• Gold Pin Contact — Gold plating on the center pin contact minimizes contact resistance and resists oxidation over repeated mating cycles, helping to maintain consistent signal transfer.
• PTFE Dielectric — Polytetrafluoroethylene dielectric material provides excellent electrical insulation, low dielectric loss, and thermal stability, contributing to clean RF signal transmission through the adapter.
• Straight In-Line Assembly — The line-mode assembly configuration allows the adapter to be used wherever a compact, straight-through connector transition is needed without adding unnecessary length or bend to the RF signal path.
