73174 Series, Coaxial Connector (RF) Assemblies

Coaxial connectors are essential components in high-frequency signal transmission systems. These interconnect devices are designed to work with cable materials that consist of a central conductor surrounded by insulation and an outer conductor of circular cross-section, which helps maintain a consistent characteristic impedance over the length of the material. Characteristics impedance is critical in RF systems because it determines how power is transferred through the transmission line. Coaxial connectors ensure that the characteristic impedance of the transmission line is maintained, resulting in efficient transfer of high-frequency signals without loss of power due to impedance mismatch. This makes coaxial connectors ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, broadcasting, aerospace, and military. Coaxial connectors come in a variety of types, including BNC, SMA, N, TNC, and many others. These connectors are designed to accommodate specific cable sizes and impedances, making it easy to choose the right connector for a particular application. Coaxial connectors are also available in various configurations, including panel mount, PCB mount, and cable mount options. In summary, coaxial connectors are critical components in high-frequency signal transmission systems. They are designed to ensure that the characteristic impedance of the transmission line is maintained, resulting in efficient transfer of high-frequency signals without power loss. Coaxial connectors are available in a range of types and configurations, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
