Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radio frequency coaxial connectors, specifically to a 45° SMA connector with adjustable male and female heads. Background Technology
[0002] SMA connectors are small threaded coaxial connectors widely used in high-frequency scenarios such as 5G base stations, satellite communications, and radar. They are commonly straight or 90-degree bent. In certain installation environments, such as confined internal spaces and connections between multi-layer circuit boards, existing SMA connectors are difficult to adjust due to their fixed angle. Therefore, a method of connecting semi-rigid wires by bending them is often used. However, manual bending may lead to inaccurate angles or irregular bend shapes, affecting signal transmission performance. Furthermore, multiple bends or excessively small bending radii may damage the internal structure of the semi-rigid wire, increasing the risk of signal attenuation and reflection. Long-term use may also lead to fatigue fracture and reduce system reliability. Utility Model Content

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the SMA connector of this utility model includes a first body 1, a second body 2, and a third body 3. The third body 3 is bent at a 45° angle to form a first part 31 and a second part 32. The first body 1 is threadedly connected to the first part 31 of the third body 3, and the second body 2 is threadedly connected to the second part 32 of the third body 3. The first body 1, the second body 2, and the third body 3 form a medium channel 4 after being connected. A center conductor 5 is provided in the medium channel 4. The first end of the center conductor 5 is installed near the first body 1 through a first insulating medium 6, and the second end of the center conductor 5 is installed near the second body 2 through a second insulating medium 9.
[0021] See Figure 1The third body 3 is bent at a 45° angle from its middle position, forming a first part 31 and a second part 32. One end of the first body 1 is threaded onto the first part 31 of the third body 3, and one end of the second body 2 is threaded onto the second part 32 of the third body 3. The first body 1, the second body 2, and the third body 3 are hollow structures. When assembled, a medium channel 4 is formed inside the first body 1, the second body 2, and the third body 3. A 45° bent center conductor 5 is installed inside the medium channel 4. The center conductor is coaxial with the medium channel 4, and the first end of the center conductor 5 is installed in the medium channel 4 through a first insulating medium 6. Inside, the second end of the center conductor 5 is installed in the medium channel 4 through the second insulating medium 9. The first end of the center conductor 5 is located opposite to the first body 1, and the second end of the center conductor 5 is located opposite to the second body 2. It can be understood that the first body 1 is a male connector and the second body 2 is a female connector. This application uses the third body 3 as a connector to connect the first body 1 and the second body 2. At the same time, it enables the first body 1 and the second body 2 to achieve a precise 45° connection, which meets the requirements of complex wiring environments, improves the stability and reliability of signal transmission, and solves the shortcomings of traditional SMA connectors in terms of wiring flexibility and angle adjustment.
[0022] In one or more embodiments, the first body 1 includes a first connector 11 and a first connecting part 12. The first connecting part 12 has a thread that is adapted to the first part 31 of the third body 3. The first connecting part 12 is snapped into the first connector 11. The first connector 11 is provided with a first annular groove 111. The outer periphery of the first connecting part 12 is provided with a second annular groove 121. The first annular groove 111 and the second annular groove 121 are provided with a stop member 7.
[0023] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The first body 1 includes a first connector 11 and a first connecting part 12. The first body 1 is threadedly installed on the first part 31 of the third body 3 through the first connecting part 12. This arrangement can effectively improve the connection strength and connection efficiency between the first body 1 and the third body 3. In addition, by opening a first annular groove 111 on the inner side of the first connector 11 and opening a second annular groove 121 on the outer periphery of the first connecting part 12 corresponding to the first annular groove 111, and installing a stop member 7 in the first annular groove 111 and the second annular groove 121, the assembly of the first body 1 is completed. In other possible embodiments, the first connector 11 and the first connecting part 12 can be threadedly connected, and there is no specific limitation.
[0024] In one or more embodiments, the second body 2 includes a second connector 21, an outer sleeve 22 and a second connecting portion 23. One end of the second connecting portion 23 is threadedly connected to the second part 32 of the third body 3. The outer sleeve 22 is disposed on the outer periphery of the second connecting portion 23. The second connector 21 is at least partially installed inside the outer sleeve 22 by means of an elastic member 8.
[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 The second body 2 includes a second connector 21, an outer sleeve 22, and a second connecting portion 23. The second body 2 is threadedly connected to the second part 32 of the third body 3 via the second connecting portion 23. This arrangement improves the connection strength and efficiency between the second body 2 and the third body 3. It should be noted that the outer periphery of the second connecting portion 23 has an annular protrusion. The outer sleeve 22 abuts against and is fixed to the protrusion of the second connecting portion 23. At least part of the second connecting portion 23 extends into the outer sleeve 22 at the end furthest from the third body 3. The second connector 21 is at least partially installed inside the outer sleeve 22 by means of an elastic member 8. By adding an elastic member 8 to the second body 2, this application allows the second connector 21 to float axially and radially during use, improving the adjustment effect of the connector.
[0026] In one or more embodiments, the second connecting portion 23 extends into the outer sleeve 22 at the end away from the third body 3 and has a stepped layer, and the end of the second connector 21 extends into the second connecting portion 23 and abuts against the step.
[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 The second connector 21 has a relief groove corresponding to the stepped layer on the outer peripheral surface of one end near the second connecting part 23. When the second connector 21 is in a stationary position, the relief groove around the end of the second connector 21 enters the stepped layer of the second connecting part 23. This arrangement can improve the connection strength between the second connector 21 and the second connecting part 23 and improve the accuracy of the second body 2 when it is adjusted along the axial direction.
[0028] In one or more embodiments, the medium channel 4 is filled with polytetrafluoroethylene-mixed air.
[0029] It is understandable that polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has a relative permittivity of approximately 2.02. When mixed with air (which has a relative permittivity of 1), the dielectric properties of the connector can be precisely controlled to ensure transmission efficiency and signal integrity. At the same time, the mixed medium can reduce the overall dielectric constant, thereby reducing delay and loss during signal transmission and meeting the requirements of high-frequency applications such as 5G and satellite communication.
[0030] In one or more embodiments, the first insulating medium 6 and the second insulating medium 9 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The PTFE material of the first insulating medium 6 and the second insulating medium 9 has a low dielectric constant, which ensures mechanical fixation of the center conductor 5 while reducing the delay of the radio frequency signal during transmission and improving signal propagation efficiency.
[0031] In one or more embodiments, a flange is provided on the outer periphery of the outer jacket 22. See also Figure 3 The flange helps to fix the second body 2 and ensures the stability of the connector when it is fixed.
[0032] In one or more embodiments, the elastic element 8 is a spring or elastic steel.
[0033] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
