Description: Adapter for SMA equipped handhelds to use BNC antennas. Low profile design reduces amount of torque applied to the handheld antenna connector. Sleek 1 piece design, black in color with gold contacts. Rubber ring around edge for better grip. Simply the best SMA to BNC adapter for a handheld application.

low stress for the sma

Lets look at the physics of the stress applied to the sma connectors on the modern HTs and you will come to the same conclusion I did; that the diamond bncj-smap adapter reduces stress on the sma connector, while dispersing the moment arm of energy produced by a flexing duckie antenna over a greater surface area. This adds up to longer life for the antenna connector (and radio) as well as giving the HT owner quicker access to antenna changes. The stress on the connector is additionally reduced by eliminating the need of screwing on and off the antennas during an antenna change. All my HTs now have this adapter. Also, most of the BNC antennas are less expensive than their SMA counterparts.
