What Factors Influence the Lifespan of SMA Board‑End Sockets, and How Can You Maximize It?

Image
  Summary SMA board-end sockets are precision coaxial connectors whose lifespan is primarily governed by mechanical wear (typically 500 to 1,000 mating cycles), degradation of electrical performance over time, and environmental stresses such as temperature extremes, humidity, corrosion, and vibration. The mechanical lifespan depends on correct torque (3–5 in‑lbf for brass, 7–10 in‑lbf for stainless steel) and alignment during mating to avoid deformation and insulator damage. Electrically, contact resistance and insulation integrity can deteriorate, leading to signal loss once thresholds are exceeded. Environmental factors—high temperatures (up to 165 °C), moisture, corrosive gases, and vibration—accelerate aging, corrosion, and mechanical loosening. Kinghelm’s SMA board-end sockets incorporate gold-plated beryllium‑copper contacts, PTFE dielectric, and stainless‑steel housings, meeting MIL‑STD‑348 and rated for 1,000 cycles with enhanced corrosion resistan...
