RF Connectors, a division of RF Industries Inc., is offering QMA series connectors that are designed to mate with all QMA jacks. The connectors offer good electrical performance up to 6 GHz. Similar in size to the SMA, the QMA has an internal configuration with a snap-on interface and needs no tooling for mating and un-mating.

The connector features a sliding snap-lock mechanism that works by sliding the shell back and releasing to lock both connectors in place. This eliminates space between connectors needed for tooling. After they are mated, the QMA connectors can be rotated 360°. The QMA is available in straight- and right-angle body styles and features albaloy-plated brass bodies, Teflon insulation, spring copper alloy outer contacts and gold-plated pins.

The QMA series is available with crimp-on attachment for RG-58/U and LMR-195 cable (RQA-5000-C straight, RQA-5010-C right angle), and RG-8/X and LMR-240 cable (RQA-5000-X straight, RQA-5010-X right angle).
