TE Connectivity RF Connector Solutions
TE Connectivity's (TE) RF Connector Solutions are designed for test and measurement applications and offer reliable performance in RF testing space. These solutions include RF connectors/coaxial connectors, RF cable assemblies, RF adapters, RF accessories, and RF terminators. TE provides products that are suitable for everything from data transmission to connector and system designs.
RF Adapters
Various adapters are provided with a wide range of in-series and between-series port adapters, including SMA, SMP, SMPM, 3.5mm, 2.92mm, 2.4mm, 1.85mm, 1.35mm, 1.00mm, QMA, and coaxial adapters. These adapters are divided into two main categories: standard adapters and precision connectors. Standard adapters are suitable for general industrial applications, while precision adapters have a higher frequency and better electrical performance.
RF Connectors
These RF connectors transmit analog signals while minimizing RF signal losses. Designed to work at the multi-megahertz range of radio frequency, these connectors are suitable for various applications. An RF connector is commonly used with a coaxial cable due to the shielding that the coaxial cable provides, and a coaxial cable connector has an inner conductor that is enveloped by a concentric conducting sleeve, with the conductor and shield separated by an insulating material.
RF Cable Assemblies
These cable assemblies are made of precision connectors and high-performance test cables. Advantages provided include excellent reliability, amplitude, phase stability, and low loss. These cable assemblies are suitable for a variety of usage environments and design requirements. Specifications include 18GHz, 26.5GHz, 40GHz, 50GHz, and 70GHz high-frequency ratings.
