2. Product Specifications

  • Brand: Kinghelm
  • Part Number: KH-SMBJ-SMBK-RG316-60MM
  • Product Type: SMB straight male-to-SMB straight female RF cable assembly
  • Cable Type: RG316 coaxial cable
  • Cable Color: Brown
  • Cable Outer Diameter: 2.5 mm
  • Cable Length: 60 mm
  • Rated Voltage: 300 V
  • Male Connector: Straight SMB male connector with male pin, gold-plated
  • Female Connector: Straight SMB female connector with female contact, gold-plated

The KH-SMBJ-SMBK-RG316-60MM features an SMB male-to-female configuration, with straight connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. The cable is made of RG316 coaxial cable with an approximate outer diameter of 2.5 mm.

With its compact design and 60 mm cable length, this RF cable assembly is well suited for short-distance connections between interfaces inside electronic equipment. The assembly also includes an OD 3.5 × 15 mm protective sleeve to provide additional protection around the connection area.

3. SMB Connector Design for Convenient Equipment Interconnection

SMB is a compact RF coaxial connector designed for applications where space efficiency and convenient connection are important. SMB connectors are widely used in wireless communication equipment, RF modules, test instruments, electronic measuring equipment, and other compact electronic systems.

The KH-SMBJ-SMBK-RG316-60MM features an SMB male connector with a male pin on one end and an SMB female connector with a female contact on the other, allowing direct connection between compatible SMB interfaces.

Both connectors feature a straight configuration, providing a clean and straightforward orientation for internal cable routing. For PCB-mounted RF interfaces, wireless communication modules, and other compact electronic assemblies, a pre-assembled RF cable can simplify installation and eliminate the need for on-site cable termination.

4. RG316 Coaxial Cable for Short-Distance RF Connections

The cable assembly uses brown RG316 coaxial cable with an outer diameter of approximately 2.5 mm. RG316 coaxial cable is commonly used for RF signal interconnection and is valued for its relatively small diameter, light weight, and flexibility.

With a 60 mm cable length, this assembly is suitable for connecting RF interfaces located relatively close to each other inside a device.

In equipment assembly, a short cable length can help minimize excess cable and keep internal wiring neat and organized. The relatively small cable diameter also makes the cable easier to route around other components in space-constrained electronic equipment.

5. Gold-Plated Connectors for Reliable Connections

Both the SMB male and SMB female connectors of the KH-SMBJ-SMBK-RG316-60MM feature gold-plated contacts. Gold plating can help improve resistance to oxidation and corrosion while supporting stable electrical contact during operation.

For applications involving equipment testing, debugging, maintenance, and repeated connection and disconnection, standardized SMB interfaces can make installation and servicing more convenient.

The male-to-female configuration also allows the cable assembly to connect directly to compatible SMB interfaces, reducing the need for additional adapters in suitable applications.

6. Suitable for a Variety of Electronic Applications

With its SMB male-to-female configuration, RG316 coaxial cable, and compact 60 mm length, the KH-SMBJ-SMBK-RG316-60MM can be used in a variety of applications, including:

  • Wireless communication equipment
  • RF modules
  • Test and measurement instruments
  • Electronic measuring equipment
  • Signal transmission assemblies
  • RF equipment
  • Electronic devices with compatible SMB interfaces

During research and development and testing, pre-assembled RF cable assemblies can provide a convenient way to establish connections between modules. During equipment manufacturing and assembly, engineers can select suitable cable lengths and connector configurations according to the product's mechanical layout, helping simplify installation and improve assembly efficiency.

When selecting an RF cable assembly, engineers should consider factors such as connector type, cable length, operating frequency, electrical specifications, installation space, and operating environment.

The KH-SMBJ-SMBK-RG316-60MM combines SMB male and female connectors with RG316 coaxial cable to provide a convenient pre-assembled solution for short-distance RF interconnection applications.

7. Selection and Installation Recommendations

When using the KH-SMBJ-SMBK-RG316-60MM, the cable should be selected according to the equipment's interface type, operating environment, and specific electrical requirements.

During installation, avoid excessive bending, pulling, or mechanical stress on the cable. The connector interfaces should also be kept clean to help minimize connection issues caused by mechanical damage or poor contact.

For applications where two SMB interfaces are positioned relatively close to each other, the 60 mm cable length can be considered for short-distance interconnection. If the actual installation distance differs, a cable with an appropriate length should be selected according to the equipment's internal layout.

Proper cable routing can help prevent unnecessary mechanical stress on the cable and connectors while keeping the internal assembly neat and organized.

Overall, the Kinghelm KH-SMBJ-SMBK-RG316-60MM is an SMB straight male-to-SMB straight female RF cable assembly designed for short-distance connections. It features a 60 mm RG316 brown coaxial cable with an approximate outer diameter of 2.5 mm, gold-plated straight SMB connectors on both ends, and an OD 3.5 × 15 mm protective sleeve.

With its compact design and straightforward male-to-female connection configuration, the cable assembly can be used for short-distance interconnection between RF modules, electronic components, and compatible interfaces in a variety of electronic and RF applications.
