The BNC connector interface, by Aviel Electronics, is widely used in a multitude of applications despite a design that originated in the 1940s. The basic design originally offered a minimal weather protection in the mated condition and almost no protection when un-mated. Aviel Electronics designed a BNC bulkhead adapter incorporating a glass bead that hermetically seals the connector to withstand a 100PSI leak test.

An SSMA connector, claimed to perform in high vibration environments, has been developed by Aviel for a military aerospace manufacturer. The manufacturer required a connector with termination onto a 0.085" semi-rigid cable, chassis mounting, a SSMA interface and an operating frequency of up to 26Ghz. A standard chassis mount SSMA connector meets these requirements, but does not perform in a high vibration environment.

An OEM manufacturer required a special SMA plug to MCX jack configuration for an over molding process to fit their custom equipment design. The SMA plug to MCX jack adapter required a non-moveable SMA end to over mold, producing an external waterproof seal when mated with a standard off-the-shelf SMA jack. The AB-SMA-JKMA-3P01 special adapter was mounted directly to their unit and molded in place. This allowed an RF electrical connection to stand...
