About
The 2782-3018-CRYO is an RF coaxial adapter that converts between SMA male and SMA female connector interfaces, allowing interconnection of coaxial cables, components, and test instruments with SMA ports. It is constructed from gold-plated copper for low-loss, corrosion-resistant electrical contact and is rated for operation up to 18 GHz with an average power handling of 1 Watt. The part is explicitly rated as cryogenic, making it suitable for use in cryogenically cooled RF assemblies and test setups, such as those found in space-qualified microwave payloads, cryogenic receivers, and low-noise instrumentation. As a passive interconnect adapter, it requires no active power and is used to bridge SMA male and female connector genders within RF signal chains. The product is stocked and distributed through multiple third-party RF/microwave component distributors including RFMW Ltd., East Coast Microwave Sales and Distribution, and Microwave Components LLC. A datasheet (2782-3018-CRYO_X1.pdf) is available with further technical detail; the listing photo is noted as a generic illustration rather than an actual product image.
