SMB Plugs for Semi-Rigid and Flexible Cables

This datasheet provides detailed information on SMB (SubMiniature version B) connectors, focusing on straight and right-angle plugs.

Straight Plug Solder Type for Semi-Rigid Cable

Key Features:

Designated for semi-rigid cables with a diameter of 0.085 inches.
Each connector includes a captive center contact assembly (Mo8).
The plugs are finished with gold plating.
No mention of a full body or other specific type of body for the plugs.
Part number associated with this type is R114 053 000.
Affirmation of the absence of particular additional features in this category.
These plugs are straight in their design orientation.

Right Angle Plugs Crimp Type for Flexible Cables

Variety of Configurations: Listed with part numbers ranging from R174 183 000 to R114 192 420*, these right-angle plugs accommodate different cable types identified as 2/50/S, 2.6/50+/S, 2.6/50/D, 3.6/75/D, and 5/50/S. The array of options suggests versatility in application with various flexible cable specifications.

Dimensions and Finish: The dimensions provided include figures like 13.8 mm, 15.7 mm, and 3.25 mm for different parts of the connectors. The finish for the crimp type connectors ranges from gold to nickel plating, indicating options for corrosion resistance and conductivity.

Attachment and Assembly: Some right-angle plugs feature a full crimp design, a 1/2 body construction, or are made from Zamak, a family of alloys. Some of the connectors have additional notes, such as being a “short version,” which suggests a reduced length or profile as compared to standard versions.

Captive Center Contact: The datasheet confirms the existence of a captive center contact, with assembly types Mo6 and M1o mentioned, which likely refers to the method or model of the center contact construction utilized in these connectors.

Packaging: Packaging information indicates that the standard is a unit of 14, though specifics of packaging size or type are not provided within the first two pages of the datasheet.

Manufacturer: The datasheet is published by Radiall, a manufacturer well-known for producing electronic components like connectors.

Overall, the datasheet outlines two main types of SMB plugs suitable for different cable types – semi-rigid and flexible – with a variety of configurations and finishes to suit various applications. Dimensions, assembly types, plating finishes, and part numbers are provided for potential users to identify the appropriate connector for their needs.
