Two-pack SMA-to-MCX adapters
This two-pack supplies SMA male to MCX female coaxial adapters for RF and audio-video signal paths. The brass bodies with nickel plating suit wireless LAN gear, FPV drones, broadcast equipment, Wi-Fi routers, GPS units, radio scanners and microwave or digital communication links. Each piece provides a straight gender change without cables. Two units are included for spares or dual-port installations.
Low-loss brass construction
Nickel-plated brass conductors and dielectric maintain consistent impedance and minimise insertion loss across the operating band. The passive design draws no power and adds no active noise, so receiver sensitivity and transmitter efficiency are preserved. Mechanical stability of the threads and snap-on MCX interface keeps contact resistance stable during vibration or thermal cycling. Performance stays predictable in typical indoor and outdoor RF environments.
Threaded SMA and snap-on MCX
The SMA male end uses a standard threaded coupling for secure, repeatable mating with SMA female bulkheads or cables. The MCX female end accepts a snap-on MCX male plug, allowing quick connect and disconnect without tools. Brass construction resists corrosion in automotive, rooftop or marine antenna installations. The compact straight form factor fits tight equipment bays and panel cut-outs where right-angle adapters would not clear.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the SMA Male to MCX Female adapter to my antenna cable, and what step causes signal loss?
Screw the SMA male end onto the SMA female port by hand until finger-tight, then give a slight turn with a spanner; over-tightening crushes the centre pin and raises insertion loss.
Will the brass nickel-plated contacts need cleaning or replacement over time?
The nickel plating resists oxidation; occasional inspection and a light wipe with isopropyl alcohol keeps contact resistance low, and no scheduled replacement is required.
At what power level does the adapter become the limiting factor in a continuous RF chain?
The small brass body and MCX interface typically handle only a few watts of continuous RF power before heat degrades the dielectric, making power handling the first sustained-use limit.
