082-92

Coaxial Connectors (RF) - 082-92 Application Field and Working Principle

The 082-92 is a medium-low power coaxial connector (RF) designed to achieve superior electrical performance in applications such as point-to-point microwave links, base station antennas, cellular networks, MEDAs, land mobile radio (LMR) systems, and satellite earth stations. This connector is suitable for a frequency range of 1 MHz to 6 GHz and offers excellent coupling stability in a wide range of environmental circumstances.

Originally developed by the Amphenol Company beginning in 1988, the 082-92 was among the first connectors to be designed according to the specification Mil-STD-348, which was released in 1998. By meeting the requirements of this specification, the 082-92 is capable of providing a more consistent electrical performance and excellent RF performance than many other connectors.

The 082-92 connector is a rugged 50 ohm connector with a snap-on design that allows for quick and easy installation. The snap-on feature not only saves time and cost, but also ensures a strong connection that can withstand vibration, shock, and other environmental changes. The connector consists of two parts, a linearly polarized plug and socket, both of which are dielectrically sealed with a weatherproof interface. The plug and socket come in 3 types — type A, type B, and type C — depending on the size of the connector and the application.

The 082-92 connector is constructed from precision machined brass bodies with elastomer sealing and offers excellent electrical performance across a wide range of temperatures. The connector utilizes a standard RF coaxial plug with an outer thread and an inner thread, which provides additional shielding and a good seal. The inner contact of the plug and socket is precision machined from a special silver plated brass alloy and is covered with a 100 ohm resistance layer for improved electrical performance. The outer contact is made of a hard conductive material, ensuring a strong electrical connection even in difficult environmental conditions.

Due to its superior electrical performance, the 082-92 connector is ideal for use in many applications such as point-point microwave links, mobile base station antennas, MEDAs, land mobile radio (LMR) systems, and satellite earth stations. This connector is highly reliable and can withstand vibration, shock, and environmental changes. Additionally, due to its snap-on design, this connector can be quickly and easily installed.

Overall, the 082-92 connector is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications including point-point microwave links, base station antennas, cellular networks, MEDAs, land mobile radio (LMR) systems, and satellite earth stations. It offers superior electrical performance across a wide range of temperatures and its snap-on design allows for quick and easy installation.
