Product catalog summary

Overview of High Frequency Connectors
This document provides an in-depth analysis of high-frequency connectors, specifically focusing on N 18 GHz, TNC 18 GHz, SMA 2.9, and 2.4 mm connectors, which are essential for microwave and RF applications.

N 18 GHz Connectors

Design Features: These connectors offer excellent performance up to 18 GHz, with low VSWR and insertion loss, robust construction, superior environmental sealing, and high power capability.
Specifications: They have a 50 ohm impedance, a frequency range from DC to 18 GHz, and can withstand 500 matings. The temperature range is from -65°C to +165°C.
Materials: Constructed with a stainless steel body, gold-plated beryllium copper contacts, and a PTFE insulator.

TNC 18 GHz Connectors

Design Features: Similar to N 18 GHz connectors, these have medium power capability and rugged construction.
Specifications: They also have a 50 ohm impedance and a frequency range from DC to 18 GHz, with a VSWR of 1.17 max for semi-rigid cables.
Materials: Made with a stainless steel body, gold-plated beryllium copper contacts, and a PTFE insulator.

SMA 2.9 and 2.4 mm Connectors

These connectors are tailored for high-frequency applications, with specific interface and characteristic details provided.

General Recommendations

Proper torque application to coupling nuts is crucial for maintaining performance.
50Ω and 75Ω connectors are not intermateable to prevent interface damage.

Materials and Plating
The document specifies that the connectors are made from stainless steel, with gold-plated beryllium copper contacts and PTFE, ULTEM, or KAPTON insulators. Silicone elastomer is used for gaskets.

Product Specifications
Specifications include details for various plugs and jacks, with dimensions in millimeters and inches.

Electrical Characteristics
Connectors have a 50Ω impedance, operating from DC to 40 GHz or 46 GHz, with a voltage rating of 350 V(RMS) and a dielectric withstanding voltage of 750 V(RMS).

Mechanical Characteristics
Designed for 500 matings, with a force to engage/disengage of ≤ 23 N cm and mating torque of 80 to 115 N cm.

Environmental Characteristics
Operational temperature range is -65°C to +200°C, tested for thermal shock, high temperature, corrosion, vibration, shock, and moisture resistance per MIL STD 202.

Product Variations
Radiall offers SMA 2.9 series connectors compatible with K® series, 2.92 mm, SMA, and SMA 3.5 series. ULTEM technology is suitable up to 40 GHz, while KAPTON is for applications up to 46 GHz.

Adapters and Receptacles
Includes various in-series and between-series adapters, with universal screw-on female receptacles and flange receptacles.

2.4 mm Connectors
Designed for use up to 50 GHz, compatible with 1.85 mm connectors, featuring a robust design for reliability.

Conclusion
Radiall offers a comprehensive range of connectors and adapters for high-frequency applications, ensuring robust mechanical and environmental reliability.
