My favorite source (RF Industries) carries the normal SMA to 0.141 connector as RSA-3500-141 <http://www.rfcoaxconnectors.com/Downloads/Home/Connectors_SMA.pdf> but on the RP-SMA page, doesn't show anything for semi-rigid <http://www.rfcoaxconnectors.com/Downloads/Home/Connectors_SMA_RevPolarity.pdf> However, if you're clever or devious, you might be able to solder one of the other (crimp?) type connectors onto the 0.141 coax if the insulation diameters are the same. I can't tell from the data sheet and really don't want to go through every connector page.

I have a situation where the antenna is getting shadowed by the computer case. I just wanted to extend the connection a few inches to get the antenna above the computer. I tried drilling out the little nipple you would normally crimp the coax shield to and soldering the hardline to the connector. This may have worked if I had a small torch that I could silver solder it with. Pb/Sn proved to be too weak but it did prove the concept. Jimmie |
