SMB (SubMiniature version B) connectors are coaxialRF connectors developed in the 1960s. SMB connectors are smaller thanSMA connectors.
They feature a snap-on coupling and are available in either 50 Ω or 75 Ω impedance. They offer excellent electrical performance from DC to 4 GHz.
An SMB jack has a male center pin, while an SMB plug has a female basket.[1][2]
Connectors are available for two SMB cable sizes:
The SSMB-Nano connector is a small version of the standard SMB connector with a 'snap-on' coupling.[3][4]
