HUBER+SUHNER QMA coaxial connectors are in accordance with QLF standard and available with 50 ohm impedance. The frequency range extends to 18 GHz, depending on the connector and cable type. However most of the QMA connectors are return loss optimised for frequencies up to 6 GHz. The interface is based on the SMA dimension but instead of a threaded coupling mechanism a new snap-lock mechanism is used. The QMA interface has a very similar performance to the SMA, but in addition it offers an easier, faster and safer coupling operation, helping customers to save significantly time during production. The packaging density of QMA is increased compared to SMA connectors thanks to the fact that no torque spanner is required to fasten the coupling nut. QMA is not intermateable with SMA. QMA connectors are also available as waterproof version (IP68) and are compatible with QLF standard.
Features
Easy to mate
10 times faster than with threaded SMA
Increased reliability
No torque or tooling required
360° rotatable interface
Easy routing of assembly without mechanical stress or electrical performance degradation
Higher packing density
Size equivalent to SMA, but space saving as there is no need for wrench clearance
Excellent electrical performance
Consistent VSWR performance enables to replace standard SMA
Return loss optimised DC to 6 GHz
