The High Power SMA 905 Connector features a stainless steel ferrule
with a counter bore end-face, which allows the fiber to be in "free
space", providing an epoxy free area around the fiber. This
significantly reduces connector failure due to excessive heat
generated in high power laser delivery systems.
A uniquely designed centering sleeve provides precision angular
alignment of the fiber inside the connector, which results in a
higher coupling efficiency of the laser beam. The stainless steel
flange is constructed in two parts. The flange back part functions
as a heat sink, conducting excessive heat away from the fiber, thus
further reducing the possibility for damage on the fiber.
The HP-SMA 905 connector is available with a wide range of inside
diameters from 230um to 1200um. Specify ferrule inside diameter
when ordering connectors.
