SMA Connector Assembly

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.
