7/16 (DIN connectors) are designed for use in communications systems with power levels of 100 watts per channel. Deutsh Industries Norm (DIN) is an acronym for German standards that apply to 7/16 connectors and are gaining acceptance worldwide. They feature rugged design, high power transmission, and low intermodulation distortion. Requirement MIL-C-39012 Paragraph Specification ELECTRICAL DATA […]
The N (Type N) connector follows the MIL-C-39012 standard, defined by the US military, and comes in 50 and 75 ohm versions. The 50 ohm version is widely used in the infrastructure of land mobile, wireless data, paging and cellular systems. The 75 ohm version is primarily used in the infrastructure of cable television systems. […]
The BNC (Bayonet Neill Concelman) product line is a miniature quick connect/disconnect RF connector. It features two bayonet lugs on the female connector; Cross RF BNC connectors are available with 50ohm and 75ohm impedance. BNC connectors are a used in computer networks, test and instrumentation, telecommunications and broadcast industries with a variety of choices: Semi-Rigid/Flexible […]
The TNC (Threaded Neill-Concelman) connector is a threaded version of the BNC connector. The connector has a 50 Ω impedance and operates best in the 0–11 GHz frequency spectrum. It has better performance than the BNC connector at microwave frequencies. Invented in the late 1950s, the TNC connector has been employed in a wide range […]
SMB (SubMiniature version B) connectors are coaxial RF connectors developed in the 1960s. This version is smaller than SMA connectors. They feature a snap-on coupling and are available either in 50 Ω or 75 Ω impedances. They offer excellent electrical performance from DC to 4 GHz. Requirement MIL-C-39012 Paragraph Specification ELECTRICAL DATA Impedance 50Ω […]
SMA (SubMiniature version A) connectors are coaxial RF connectors developed in the 1960s as a minimal connector interface for coaxial cable with a screw type coupling mechanism. The connector has a 50 Ω impedance. It offers excellent electrical performance from DC to 18 GHz. Designed in accordance with MIL-C-39012 specifications, SMA lineup has one of […]
Developed in the 1980s, MCX connectors are coaxial RF connectors that have the same inner contact and insulator dimensions as the SMB connector but are 30% smaller. They use a snap-on interface and usually have a 50 Ω impedance. They offer broadband capability from DC to 6 GHz. While maintaining high performance, the reduced connector […]
Micro Miniature Connector aka. MMCX is one of the smallest design of RF connector line with 50 Ohm impedance and up to DC 6 GHz usage. By incorporating a lock-snap mechanism, it allows easy latching and high flexibility on PCB layouts. Cross RF offers a range of MMCX connectors that are applicable to various applications […]
Cross RF (www.crossrf.com) recently expanded its range of configurable connector options to FME series. Cross RF now has the ability to process custom cable assemblies with FME straight plug or jack. FME is mobile equipment connectors. The most common usage of FME is for mobile antenna applications. It is a miniature screw coupling coaxial that […]
