A few tips on how to solder the edge launch SMA connector to the PCB

Since the center pin of the connector is small enough to fit entirely on the trace, why do you need to trim it?

[@rfgeek]

Right when you exit the SMA coax, it is very inductive, then where you solder the pin down onto the trace, it is very capacitive. This really limits the high frequency performance. By shortening the pin length, you are minimizing the capacitive section to yield better performance (lower reflections). Ironically, I am currently documenting a 3D printed test fixture that will replace this for next semester and will upload this to my channel when it is finished.

Hello. What is the width of the 50 ohm copper traces?
