As RF circuits and electronics became more prevalent in military and defense applications in the 1950s, there have been a variety of RF connector types that were developed to solve the challenges for specific applications. One of these connectors that became...
RF Connector Guide
There is a wide array of methods of connecting RF circuits. The most common type are standardized connectors based on coaxial technology, typically just referred to as RF Connectors. Most RF connectors are coaxial connectors, as the other common type of RF...
Coaxial PCB & Panel Connector Applications
With the increasing number of millimeter-wave applications, there is a growing demand for coaxial connectors that can be mounted directly on a PCB, or other laminates, and mounted on the outside of a housing and still connect through to a PCB or internal lead/coaxial...
N-Type Coaxial Connectors in A Nutshell
N-type Coaxial Connectors are one of the most common coaxial connector types used in wireless communication and sensing systems. This connector type has been around since the 1940s and was originally designed for military applications not exceeding 1 GHz maximum...
What are Hermetically Sealed RF Coaxial Connectors & Adapters?
Hermetic and the concept of hermiticity in RF components and devices is derived from the Greek for impenetrable barrier, and air/water tightness. This is a critical feature of many military/defense, industrial, and aerospace systems that are exposed to harsh...
What is an RF Connection?
Radio Frequency (RF) signals are merely any useful electromagnetic radiation within a portion of the spectrum that is compatible with available technology. These can be RF signals used for communication, sensing, or any other purpose, such as RF heating, RF plasma, or...
N Type Female Connectors
The N-type coaxial connector (N-female connector) is one of the oldest standardized coax connectors and has been around since the 1940s. The N-type coaxial connector is one of the most commonly used RFconnector types with a typical frequency range from DC to 11 GHz,...
Benefits of SMA Quick Connect Connectors
SMA Coaxial connectors are one of the most common coaxial connector types used in almost every application coaxial connectors are used. SMA connectors can be made to a precision grade which extends the frequency range of operation to 18 GHz, or even 26.5 GHz. Hence,...
Basics of BNC Coaxial Connectors
BNC Coaxial Connectors, the name being an initialism of Bayonet Neill-Concelman, is a commonly used coaxial connector for a wide variety of 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm applications. Originally designed in the 1940s for military applications, both BNC Female Connectors and BNC...
RF Connector Dust Caps
RF coaxial connectors are one of the most common RF port types used in virtually every industry, from military/defense, aerospace, industrial, scientific research, automated testing, production etc. it is very common for the ports for RF devices to be female coaxial...
