SMA to Whatever v2

I made this board because I kept having a simple problem - I had a header (or less) where I needed a coax connection. The cost to make the board was nothing compared to the cost of shipping so I made a bunch of extras. Back then there wasn’t much in my store so I added kits for $3 and fully assembled boards for $4.

SMA to Whatever

Today on Stupid Solutions to Stupid Problems – a postage stamp sized PCB for putting an SMA port on, well, whatever.

Several times on recent projects I’ve had to try to pass RF around between boards that don’t have footprints for coaxial connectors. I’ve tried various methods such as just soldering a bit of micro-coax to the board or using 0.1″ headers but none of them are satisfactory.
