What is SMB in electrical?

What is SMB in electrical?

Typically 0–4 GHz. SMB (SubMiniature version B) connectors are coaxial RF connectors developed in the 1960s. SMB connectors are smaller than SMA connectors. They feature a snap-on coupling and are available in either 50 Ω or 75 Ω impedance. They offer excellent electrical performance from DC to 4 GHz.

What is SMB cable used for?

The SMB connector provides a snap fit sub-miniature RF connector suitable for frequencies above 1 GHz. The SMB connector is used in applications where a quick mating sub-miniature RF connector is required for RF frequencies up to frequencies of a few GHz.

What is SMC cable?

SMC (SubMiniature version C) connectors are coaxial RF connectors developed in the 1960s. Available in 50-Ohm and 75-Ohm characteristic impedance, they provide an interconnect means for small form factor coaxial cables (e.g. 50-Ohm RG-174, 75-Ohm RG-179) and printed circuit boards where small footprint is important.

What is the difference between spectrum SMB male and SMB female?

All Spectrum SMB connections are SMB male. A cable with a SMB female connector is needed to attach to the Spectrum product. The BNC male connector is used to directly connect to other instruments. Most table top instruments and also most machines have a BNC female connector and need this cable to be directly connected.

What is an SMB female connector used for?

The SMB female connector can be used to interconnect two Spectrum cards for example to distribute clock or trigger signal from one system to another. SMA cables and connectors have been designed for highest frequencies. The SMA connection is screwed and fits very tight and stable.

What is the BNC male connector used for?

The BNC male connector is used to directly connect to other instruments. Most table top instruments and also most machines have a BNC female connector and need this cable to be directly connected. Cab-3f-9m-80: 80 cm cable SMB female to BNC male Cab-3f-9m-200: 200 cm cable SMB female to BNC male

What is the difference between the SMB and BNC connectors?

The BNC female connector can be used to connect the Spectrum card to another BNC cable connector or directly to a standard probe. The SMB female connector can be used to interconnect two Spectrum cards for example to distribute clock or trigger signal from one system to another.
