73158 Series, Coaxial Connector (RF) Contacts

Coaxial connector contacts are an essential part of any high-frequency signal transmission system. These interconnect system components are sold separately from the connector housings, which they are typically mounted within to form a complete connector system. Coaxial connector contacts are designed to work specifically with coaxial cable materials, which consist of multiple concentric conductors constructed to create a suitable transmission line for high-frequency signals. The central conductor is surrounded by insulation, followed by an outer conductor of circular cross-section that maintains consistent characteristic impedance over the length of the material. The use of coaxial connectors ensures efficient and reliable transfer of high-frequency signals without power loss due to impedance mismatch. Coaxial connectors are available in various types and sizes, including SMA, BNC, N, TNC, among others. They are also available in different configurations, such as cable mount, panel mount or PCB mount options. In summary, coaxial connector contacts are integral components in high-frequency signal transmission systems. They are sold separately from connector housings and are designed to work with coaxial cable materials to maintain consistent characteristic impedance over the length of the transmission line. Coaxial connectors are available in various types, sizes, and configurations, making them suitable for a wide range of applications in telecommunications, broadcasting, aerospace, and military industries.
