ER-800 SMA MALE CRIMPING -1.5C

Precision RF Link: ER-800 SMA Male Crimp Connector (-1.5C)

Ensure high-frequency signal stability for your miniature coaxial runs with the ER-Series. This SMA Male Crimp Connector is specifically engineered for -1.5C and RG178 style cables. It is the definitive solution for GPS antennas, Wi-Fi modules, and RF testing equipment where a compact, threaded, and permanent connection is required.

Why the ER-800 SMA Male is a Technical Essential:

• Precision-Sized for -1.5C: Designed with an ultra-slim internal ferrule and pin specifically for 1.5mm diameter coaxial cables, ensuring a perfect mechanical fit.

• Threaded Twist-Lock Security: Features a high-tension threaded coupling nut that provides a vibration-proof connection, ideal for mobile and aerospace applications.

• Gold-Plated Brass Construction: The entire body and center pin are gold-plated to ensure minimum signal loss (insertion loss) and maximum corrosion resistance. 

• High-Frequency Performance: Optimized for 50Ω impedance, maintaining signal integrity from DC up to 12.4GHz (and beyond, depending on cable quality).

Where to Use It:

• GPS & GNSS Systems: Terminate small-diameter antenna leads for navigation systems and tracking devices.

• Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Modules: Create custom pigtails for internal wireless cards and IoT gateways.

• RF Laboratory Testing: Ideal for building miniature test leads and measurement probes for spectrum analyzers.

• Drones & FPV: A lightweight, secure connector for 5.8GHz video transmitters and receiver antennas.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns ‍

1.  Do I need a special crimper for -1.5C? Yes. Because the -1.5C cable is extremely thin, you need a crimping tool with a very small hex die (typically .100" / 2.54mm or smaller). Using a standard RG58/RG59 crimper will be too large and won't secure the cable.

2. Is this the same as "RP-SMA"? No. This is a Standard SMA Male (it has a center pin). RP-SMA Male (Reverse Polarity) has a center socket. These are not compatible, so check your equipment port carefully!

3. Should I solder or crimp the center pin? While the ER-800 pin can be soldered, professional crimping provides a more consistent impedance. For such tiny cables, many technicians find a tiny dot of solder is easier for the center pin, while the outer ferrule MUST be crimped.
