Coaxial Connectors (RF): 031-2300-RFX application field and working principle

Coaxial connectors (RF) are commonly used in computer networks, televisions, and satellite systems for connections between electronic components. The 031-2300-RFX connector is a soldered right-angle coaxial connector with an SMA female interface. It is made of a 50Ω gold plated brass body and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) insulator, and provides an impedance of 50 Ω. This connector is mainly used in the radio frequency (RF) and microwave transmission area, with features such as high frequency, high interference resistance, and excellent intermodulation performance. Its application fields include mobile communication base stations, radar defense systems, communication systems, instrumentation, satellite systems, etc.

The working principle of the 031-2300-RFX connector is primarily mechanic. The inner conductor of the center contact is embedded in the insulator, along with the outer metal shield. the shell is threaded, and it forms a seamless connection when the two connectors are mated. The mechanical connection also ensures that the internal electric operation is reliable. The contact area between the centers pin and the central connector is of high importance for the performance, as it minimizes the power loss associated with higher frequencies.

It is important to properly maintain the 031-2300-RFX connector to ensure proper functioning. The outer surface of the connector should be clean and dry before mating. Also, additional torque should be used when connecting the connector to ensure proper contact. Furthermore, the connector should be protected from any kind of dust, chemical, high temperature or humidity that would potentially cause malfunction.
