[SI-LIST] Re: SMA Connectors

Padma

The Molex connector was one that I had George Hubbard design for me back 
in 2004, when he worked at Molex.  It takes a precision flange mount 
design and incorporates a built in beryllium copper pin that forms a 
signal contact with pad on a PCB.  It was designed specifically to be a 
low return loss connector for precision measurements.

The Samtec flange mount connector is designed to be a low cost 
connector, similar to other standard SMA flange mount connectors in the 
industry.  The Samtec boys in Harrisburg can give you any information 
about it that you desire.  Depending on your application, it may meet 
your needs.

regards,

Scott
