Key Features and Applications:
- Right Angle Design: This configuration is often used to save space on a PCB or when the connector needs to be oriented perpendicular to the board.
- PCB Mounting: Allows for direct integration into the PCB design, providing a secure and reliable connection.
- RF Applications: Commonly used in various RF systems, including antennas, wireless communication devices, test equipment, and more.
- Frequency Range: Typically operates in the DC to 18 GHz frequency range.
- Impedance: Standard impedance is 50 ohms.
Typical Specifications:
- Impedance: 50 ohms
- Frequency range: DC to 18 GHz
- VSWR: 1.15 or lower
- Insulation resistance: 5000 M ohms
- Center contact resistance: 6 m ohms max
- Outer contact resistance: 2 m ohms max
Important Considerations:
- PCB Thickness: Ensure compatibility with the PCB thickness.
- Soldering: Proper soldering techniques are essential for a reliable connection.
- RF Performance: Consider the connector's performance characteristics (VSWR, insertion loss) based on your application requirements.
- Environmental Conditions: Choose a connector with appropriate ratings for temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors.
