131-3701-216

Coaxial Connectors (RF) have been in use since the early 1920s. The 131-3701-216 is a two-part family of coaxial connectors that are specifically designed for RF applications. These connectors are a proven solution used in a variety of industries including military, automotive, telecommunication, aerospace, and industrial markets. They are ideal connectors for applications in which high performance levels, dependability and repeatability are of utmost importance.

The 131-3701-216 family of coaxial connectors has several distinct features that set it apart from other families. It has a robust nature that makes it particularly suitable for extremely harsh environments such as those encountered in military and aerospace applications. Constructed from a nickel-plated brass body, the connector has a two-part lock ring that provides excellent repeatable coming and uncoupling characteristics. It has an adjustable and wide range of electrical connection pressures which allows for quick and easy installation and removal, even in the tightest spaces. The 131-3701-216 also features a high-performance sealing system that ensures reliable performance even in the most extreme conditions.

The working principle of the 131-3701-216 can be broken down into two main components; the electrical connection and the mechanical. For the electrical connection, the two connector housings contain two sets of female contacts; one on the male connector and the other on the female. These contacts are then tensioned by the two-part lock ring to ensure a proper electrical connection. The mechanical connection involves the use of the male connector housing and two studs which are secured by the two-part lock ring. This connection provides for secure and reliable mechanical retention of the two connector housings.

The 131-3701-216 family of coaxial connectors is designed for use in a variety of RF applications including cable television, residential wiring, antennas, test and measurement, and high power and data applications. They are also ideal for controlling and distributing signals in two-way communication systems, such as wireless and point-to-point systems. The 131-3701-216 is suitable for frequencies ranging from DC to 18 GHz, as well as for applications in which high-voltages are present.

The combination of its robust construction, high performance levels, repeatable coming and uncoupling characteristics, and reliable sealing system makes the 131-3701-216 an ideal solution for a wide range of applications. Its two-part lock ring enables a secure electrical connection and the adjustable connection pressures aid in quick and easy installation and removal. This combination of features allows the 131-3701-216 to be a trusted solution for a variety of organizations seeking dependable, rugged, and high-performance RF coaxial connectors.
