so there is no separate SMA pin only ,we can buy the whole package.
I want to find a proper connector to use for PMA5-83-2W+ (link below).
In the datasheet they use 2.92mm female connector which I was said is not suitble because much high frequencyand much expensive then the amplifier uses.
What connector do you think is more suitable for such amplifer?
Thanks.

The link to the catalog has all the information.

This page has links to the various launch pins that are needed depending on dielectric length.

You can also call or email the manufacturer which will be authoritative.

Hello ,I have found the following model shown below.However there are there is a teflon cover bolging , my connector sits straight away on a PCB microstrip line.
I dont want to cut down parts of it, How can I choose a conector with shorter pin and without teflon cover?
Thanks.

Hello Yaakov,I am trying to understand the catalog you shared.my RF connector needs to sit on is 0.434 trace.
in the photo there is pin diameter,step diameter pin length and step length.
given the list in the mouser below could you pick one connector from the list and say what inner pin matches the trace it needs to sit on?
Thanks.

The attached PDF contains all of the information that you should need. I understand you might need some help from an application engineer, but if that's the case, the information is at the bottom of the page:

Southwest Microwave, Inc. • Tempe, Arizona 85284 USA • 480-783-0201
Call the and they can help you interpret the information in that PDF application note. It provides dimensions and part numbers for the various mounting options and interface tagrgets.

I'm not am SMI sales engineer. If I couldn't figure things out from the app note I would call as well. I couldn't tell you with any certainty which of the various options would work best for you, and I don't know if you need to do some redesign in your PCB to make things work.

Use the resources the company has to support their products, your question should be entirely routine for them. Good luck on your project.
