- I agree, I cannot imagine wanting to Loctite or glue RF connectors. Start with high quality connectors from a brand name manufacture such as Amphenol. Make sure that they are properly installed on th

- There's conductive, and inductive. JB Weld contains iron, and is magnetic. It's comparable to the ferrite materials used in RF. A good dollop of that inside each connector will accomplish something.

- Another suggestion... A small drop of glue from a hot melt glue gun works fine based on my experience with a problematic connector (not an SMA) on a diesel engine. Since the material is not porous it

- A tiny blob of something really viscous (so it won't crawl up into the threads by capillary action) like 5 minute epoxy or JB weld would probably work. You could test it on a nut and bolt the same di

- It also occurs to me that that you are NOT depending on the threads for conductivity on a SMA connector. The shield connection is at the face of the threaded part of the jack, and a corresponding fac
