Something to be careful with when buying SMA connectors is to ensure you get the same "polarity". You will find some listed as just SMA and others as RP-SMA - RP for reverse polarity. The RP variety have the male / female pins of the connectors reversed from the standard SMA connectors.

I recently bought 60 SMB PCB mount verticals for GBP10 I then used RA SMB connectors to go to an external panel mount BNC. You should be able to find RA SMA PCB mount sockets (jacks) that will fit and also allow through panel mounting. <http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getPr oduct&R=1122858> A quick ebay search with "sma pcb right angle" turned up these on very short order and there's lots more suitable for bulkhead mount. <http://cgi.ebay.com/270602200692> If you want TNC (threaded version of BNC) with 5mm (0.2") pinouts - that's more of a problem as they normally are 0.4".
