0733860182

The 0733860182 is a type of coaxial radio frequency (RF) connector, commonly known as an adapter. It is designed to provide reliable performance in applications that require medium power levels up to 4GHz while also providing precise, repeatable electrical connections. This RF adapter is ideal for use in radio frequency communications systems, instrumentation, and other applications where a reliable electrical connection is critical.

Construction and Details

The 0733860182 is composed of a body composed of die-cast zinc alloy and silver-plated brass contacts. This makes it highly resistant to corrosion and wear. The center pin has a full PTFE insulation with +±0.010” pressure fit for additional reliability. The adapter features two removable sealing caps that protect the center pin from dust and moisture. There are also two integrated ground rings for use in heavy vibration environments. The threaded portion of the adapter is chrome plated for maximum corrosion resistance. Additionally, the adapter is solderless, with no crimping or soldering required for installation.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 0733860182 is straightforward. The adapter is designed so that when it is secured in place, the center pin and outer cavity of the adapter form a continuous electrical pathway. The die cast metal body acts as a shield and ensures that no RF emissions or ingress signals pass from the inside of the adapter to the outside. This is important for providing reliable performance and maximum signal strength and integrity. The adapter is usually secured with a threaded connection, such as mounting hardware or a nut and bolt assembly.

Applications

The 0733860182 is well-suited for a number of RF applications, such as radio and television broadcast systems, instrumentation, microwave transmission systems, satellite communications, and more. It is designed with a low profile, is lightweight, and requires no installation tools. This RF adapter is a great choice for applications where a reliable, low-maintenance electrical connection is required.
