MX SMA Male Connector Crimp Type For RG-58U and RG-174U Cable Fully Gold Plated with Boot (MX-336A)

SMA is the connector of choice on a huge range of RF modules, antennas, and transmitters, and this crimp-type male version terminates the two most common thin coax cable types - RG-58U and RG-174U - onto a standard SMA male end. The gold plating on the contact resists the slow oxidation that degrades a bare-metal connector's signal quality over time, which matters more on RF connections than on simple power wiring since even small contact resistance changes can affect signal integrity. The rubber boot covering the crimp joint protects it from the repeated flexing a cable sees in normal handling and from moisture that would otherwise work its way into the crimp over time. A solid general-purpose SMA termination for anyone building or repairing their own antenna cables.
