Connettore HF/video ShiverPeaks 98612 SMA dorato print-mount

SMA video connector ShiverPeaks 98612 is a gold-plated print-mount RF/video connector engineered for direct PCB integration. It provides a compact coaxial interface for video and RF signals with corrosion-resistant contacts and a board-mount footprint suitable for professional electronics, test equipment, surveillance hardware and custom embedded designs where a reliable SMA termination is required.

Advantages

The gold-plated contact surfaces reduce oxidation and maintain consistent impedance contact over time, improving signal integrity for high-frequency video and RF transmission. Its print-mount design enables secure mechanical fixation and straightforward soldering to printed circuit boards, while the compact size conserves PCB area. Designed for repeatable mating cycles, the connector supports stable connections for both permanent and serviceable installations.

Suitable for

• PCB-mounted RF/video interfaces on surveillance and camera modules
• Test and measurement equipment requiring SMA terminations
• Embedded systems and wireless modules with compact board layouts
• Hobby electronics and prototyping of RF/video circuits

Key specifications

• Connector type: SMA (subminiature coaxial)
• Mounting style: print-mount / PCB through-hole or surface solderable pad (board-mount footprint)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Function: RF and video coaxial signal interface
• Form factor: compact, low-profile PCB termination

How to use

Position the connector on the PCB according to the manufacturer’s footprint, align the through-hole pins or pads with the board, and solder using appropriate temperature and soldering techniques for gold-plated contacts. Ensure proper cleaning of flux residues and verify mechanical stability after soldering. Mate the SMA plug carefully by hand to avoid cross-threading and do not exceed specified torque for mating to preserve the connector and board solder joints.

Recommendations

For optimal signal performance, use controlled-impedance PCB layout practices and short coaxial runs between the connector and RF circuits. Avoid repeated over-torquing and protect the connector from mechanical shock during installation. When used in outdoor or high-humidity environments, combine with proper enclosure sealing to protect the gold-plated contacts from prolonged exposure to contaminants.
