The QLS (Quick Lock Standard) is a quick locking replacement for the threaded interface of the popular
SMA connector
SMA (''SubMiniature version A'') connectors are semi-precision coaxial RF connectors developed in the 1960s as a minimal connector interface for coaxial cable with a screw-type coupling mechanism. The connector has a 50 Ω impedance. SMA w ...
