EPsma™ Connectors
EPSMA™ Connectors H5638-3CCSF, H5771-6CCSF, H5959-6CCSF, H5696-5CCSF and H5772-6CCSF
The EPSMA™ (Enhanced Performance) connector series
improves upon the performance of the ubiquitous
standard SMA connector. Carlisle’s EPSMA™ connectors
are designed and tuned to provide ultra low VSWR
(typically 1.15:1) and mode free operation to 27 GHz.
The current product offering consists of field replaceable
styles with industry standard flange configurations and
pin sizes. In addition, we provide SMA cable assemblies
in different configurations to match the frequency
coverage of the EPSMA™ product line.

The EPSMA™ product line is ideal for use in high
performance military systems and test & measurement
applications where improved match and frequency
coverage are desired. The EPSMA™ connector series is
designed with a thicker outer wall that increases the
durability for repeated matings, making this an excellent
choice for harsh military and defense applications.
