SMA Caps

These parts were designed for a customer using a Bulkhead SMA connector, they had problems when the product was being used out in the field but the connector not in use, the connector would then be open for debris to enter thus starting to cause field failure.

On discussing the problem we came up with the above simple design, the moulding fits over the SMA and is retained by the nut when the connector is fitted to the customer product. When the connector is not in use the cap bends over 180 degrees to fit over the socket keeping the product clean, we also mould this in a variety of colours for kit identification.
