RF stands for radio frequency and is embedded in applications in order to provide a consistent level of impedance at the location where the connection is built. This kind of cable has a shield built in to protect the radio frequency (RF) signals being transmitted through it from outside interference.
RF connectors are extremely delicate machinery. They are readily damaged when put under mechanical force or environmental circumstances that they were not intended to withstand. For this reason, it's crucial to make sure the right connector is chosen for a particular application.
Our wide range of RF and coaxial connectors is innovative and very useful for any sort of industrial application. That included BNC connectors, F connectors, TV aerials, and cable assemblies from industry-leading manufacturers, to name a few of them Amphenol, TE Connectivity, and RS Pro. Over here, you can also get the standard adapters and adapter kits.
Typical Applications Include:
- Routers
- Wireless communication devices
- GPS devices
- Mobile phones
- Bluetooth devices
- Antennas
What are the types of RF and Coaxial Connectors?
There are several different factors the connector must be compatible with. There are connectors made to function with all different kinds of cables and under various operating situations. Some designs must be well suited to dangerous situations, shock, vibration, and other factors.
Connector sizes can come in a wide variety. Others can fit into the bodies of phones, while others are small enough to fit on PCBs. Some connectors are substantially larger and made for use in military applications as well as large-scale data centers, broadcasting hubs, and other locations where reliability and resistance to breakage and damage are essential for safety.
Our Range of Innovative Connectors is made up of:
- BNC connectors - Can be installed and are compatible with many different types of RF coaxial cable and are made available with different impedance configurations.
- N-type connectors - 50 and 75-ohm models are available in the industry. They are comprised of a range of options adjustable by cable type, connector type, mounting type, and so on.
- SMA connectors - Marketed in standard and tiny sizes, in a range of different mounting types and termination methods.
- RF & coaxial adapters - They come in a range of impedance ratings, contact plating, operating frequencies, and more, and they enable the connection of numerous cable types.
Choosing the Suitable RF and Coaxial Connectors
In order to utilize them efficiently, it's important to be aware of the following information.
- The frequency at which the application works efficiently and reliably
- Termination type
- Mounting type
- Male or female connection
- Operating conditions
- Voltage
- Pack size
