A table with cross references between the new and the previous version is presented page 14. With a different internal design, the new SMA 2.9 connectors offer the same electrical performances and fit into the same mounting configurations than previous products. They are chemical fluid proof as well as dust ingress protected. SMA 2.9 series is compatible with K� series, 2.92 mm, SMA and SMA 3.5 series and has a shortened male center contact, ensuring a non destructive mating. This new series is specially designed for aeronautics, military equipments as well as instrumentation or telecommunication applications. SMA 2.9 connectors range includes products for semi-rigid cable, high performance flexible microwave cable assemblies, panel receptacles and in-series adapters. SPACE APPLICATIONS
We also have a complete range for space applications available according to ESA specifications (page 13). STAINLESS STEEL CONNECTORS (316L ruggedized)
Radiall offers as well a range of cable assemblies equipped with stainless steel connectors for applications in harsh environment.
