UHF Socket to SMA Socket Adapter | SO-239 Connector to SMA Socket Connector For RF Coaxial Converter for Antennas & Test Equipment

UHF Socket to SMA Socket Adapter, for seamless and low-loss connectivity between legacy UHF devices and modern SMA systems. Featuring a UHF female socket (SO-239 connector) on one end and a SMA female socket connector on the other, this adapter ensures reliable and secure coaxial connections in demanding radio frequency environments.

USES:

1. Converting Ham Radio Antennas: Connect older ham radios with a UHF socket (SO-239 connector) to modern SMA antennas for smooth signal flow.
2. Integrating Wi-Fi Boosters and FPV Systems: Use the SMA socket connector to link wireless gear like Wi-Fi modules and FPV transmitters to UHF-based devices.
3. Testing RF Signals in Labs: Ideal for RF test setups where UHF sockets on old equipment need to interface with SMA socket connectors on analyzers.
4. Customizing Antenna Setups: Adapt different antenna types by bridging SMA socket to UHF socket, useful in both mobile and fixed RF systems.
5. Linking Communication Devices in Security Systems: Used to connect SO-239 connectors on legacy communication hardware with modern SMA interfaces in surveillance or tactical setups.

FEATURES:

1. Dual Connector Interface: Features a UHF socket (SO-239 connector) on one end and a SMA socket connector on the other for wide RF compatibility.
2. High-Frequency Support: Supports frequencies from DC to 6 GHz (limited by SMA socket) — ideal for Wi-Fi, FPV, and RF signal testing.
3. Low VSWR & 50Ω Impedance: Optimized signal transmission with <1.3 VSWR and industry-standard 50 Ohm impedance for minimal signal loss.
4. Durable Build Quality: Constructed with nickel-plated brass (UHF side) and gold-plated SMA socket for durability and enhanced conductivity.
5. Easy Antenna & Equipment Integration: Perfect for adapting antennas, test tools, and communication gear between SO-239 connectors and SMA socket connectors.

FAQ’S:

Q1. Can I use this UHF socket to SMA socket adapter for transmitting signals above 1 GHz without significant loss?
A: Yes, the SMA socket connector side supports up to 6 GHz with low VSWR (<1.3 typical). However, note that the UHF socket (SO-239 connector) is optimized for frequencies up to 300 MHz. Beyond that, some signal degradation may occur due to the UHF design limitations.

Q2. Is this adapter suitable for connecting PL-259 to SMA antennas in my ham radio setup?
A: Absolutely. The UHF socket (SO-239) side accepts PL-259 plugs, making it ideal for ham radio users transitioning to SMA socket based antennas or analyzers.

Q3. Does the SMA socket connector have gold plating for signal integrity in lab-grade RF testing?
A: Yes, the SMA socket is gold-plated for improved conductivity and signal stability, making it suitable for RF test environments and sensitive transmission tasks.

Q4. Will this adapter affect impedance matching in my 50 Ohm RF system?
A: No, it’s designed with a consistent 50Ω impedance on both sides — UHF socket and SMA socket connector — ensuring proper impedance matching in RF chains.

Q5. Can I use this SO-239 to SMA socket adapter in both indoor and outdoor antenna setups?
A: Yes, it’s built with nickel-plated brass and Teflon insulation, offering robust durability for both indoor test benches and outdoor UHF to SMA antenna applications.
