How to Choose SMA905 Connector: A Technical Comparison from Bonded to Ceramic Ferrule Designs

I. Overview

The SMA905 is a fiber connector featuring a threaded locking mechanism. Its standard interface is designed for multi-mode fiber, with mating end faces incorporating a micro-air gap (non-contact design). This connector is commonly used in high-power laser transmission applications to minimize end-face damage.

II. Comparison of Four Structural Types

Type Core Structure Working Principle Advantages Disadvantages
Standard SMA905 Stainless Steel Ferrule Connectors Stainless steel ferrule + epoxy resin fixation Fixes fiber with resin to ensure concentricity Low cost, simple manufacturing Poor temperature resistance, not resistant to aging
High-Temperature, Vacuum-Compatible SMA905 Stainless Steel Ferrule Connectors Metal ferrule + air gap + distal glue fixation Uses air gap for thermal isolation, preventing heat conduction Good heat dissipation, suitable for medium-high power Complex process
Mechanical Clamp Type Metal Assembly + Ceramic Sleeve Mechanical clamping without glue,high-temperature resistant High temperature resistance, vibration resistance, and high stability Complex structure, high price

 

Ceramic Ferrule Type Metal Housing + Integrated Ceramic Ferrule Ceramic support ensures stable optical performance Low insertion loss, superior signal quality Highly brittle, not impact-resistant

III. Selection Recommendations

  • AdhesiveType: Suitable for low-power, low-cost applications such as laboratory testing and general communications.
  • AirGap Type: Suitable for medium-to-high-power industrial laser equipment requiring effective heat dissipation.
  • Mechanical Clamp Type:Suitable for high-temperature, high-vibration environments such as aerospace and military equipment.
  • Ceramic Ferrule Type: Suitable for high-precision optical systems and communications equipment with stringent signal loss requirements.

IV. Summary

The SMA905 connector offers diverse configurations to meet varying application requirements. When selecting a model, comprehensive consideration of power, temperature, stability, and cost factors is essential to achieve optimal performance matching.
