Selecting connector, plating and packaging How to select the suitable coaxial connector series Technical elements Frequency, cable type, impedance and coupling mechanism are key factors to consider in selecting a coaxial connector series. Depending on the application, other factors such as sealing, temperature, working voltage, IM performance, vibration etc. also have to be taken into account. Connectors must, at a minimum, provide the same level of performance as the cable or the application to which they are attached. This means, before selecting a connector series the cable type or the application...

Coupling mechanisms Coupling mechanisms make it possible to mate connector pairs and also determine whether or not the mated pair can meet the specified mechanical and electrical characteristics, such as operating frequency. The following four types of mechanisms are commonly used for the series described in this catalogue. Screwed coupling mechanism The coupling mechanism consists of a thread and a coupling nut. Special attention must be paid to the maximum torque permitted and the coupling nut captivation. The screwed connection is used in series like SMC, SMA, TNC, N and 7/16 because the mechanism...
