Choosing SMA connector

[denden42]

Hello im planning to buy an SMA male connector to be use as my antenna for wimax, is there any difference in signal using the gold connector compare to the silver connector?

No.

Resistance in silver vs gold is negligible.

Resistance in silver vs gold is negligible.

The silver connectors aren't actually silver though, as it tarnishes. The Silver colored connectors are generally aluminum or steel. In this case, the difference in resistance to a brass/gold plated connector is minimal, especially considering the low amperage and large surface area. Very tiny fractions of a percent in difference.
