building SMA connectors requires specific fixturing and tooling
The SMA is one of the earliest fiber optic connectors, and still today is in demand for the medical, sensor and industrial applications that use large core fibers.
Amphenol based the design of the fiber optic SMA connector on the popular coax version. It is available in various materials. One of the main benefits are metal ferrules which allow manufacturers to order custom hole sizes, or even drill out their own custom size. This allows the use of many different optical fiber diameters and capillary sizes.
Due to the design, various ferrule materials and range of specialized fiber and applications, the processing of SMA connectors requires specific equipment and consumables that can depend on the application.
Fiber Optic Center is also the main distributor of SMA connectors, with the largest custom hole size inventory.
Fiber Optic Center is the industry connection to the recommended materials and equipment designed specifically for SMA connector assemblies. Integrating our manufacturing knowledge into our customers’ worldwide operations begins with the best practices and selections listed below on this page.
