Coaxial Connectors (RF)

Coaxial connectors, or RF connectors, are specialized components used in radio communications, RF signaling, and data transmission systems. These connectors are designed to provide low signal loss in high-frequency applications. The 142-0701-401 RF connector is a standard coaxial interface used in variety of radio communication equipment.

The 142-0701-401 is a one-piece, snap-in connector featuring a bayonet coupling mechanism for quick and reliable mating. It is designed for minimum attachment force and allows for secure vibration-resistant connection. This connector is fully compliant with MIL-STD-348A specifications and its insulating material is able to withstand temperatures up to +85°C.

The 142-0701-401 connector is typically used in telecommunication and aerospace systems, where high-fidelity signal delivery and security are of paramount importance. It is particularly suitable for military and medical applications, as well as for transmitting digital audio and video signals. Due to its robust construction and full MIL-STD compliance, the 142-0701-401 can be used in demanding settings and environmental conditions.

The 142-0701-401 RF connector consists of two mating halves: the male plug and the female receptacle. The male plug has a pin housed in a coupler shell connected to the cable shield with a crimp ferrule. This ferrule ensures continuity of the shield connection. The female receptacle has an inner contact, an annular groove, and an outer contact that respectively receive the pin, an O-ring, and the cable shield.

When mated, these two components enable a reliable electrical connection and provide shielding from RF radiation. The O-ring, which is placed in the annular groove between the two contacts, provides a physical separation and an hermetic sealing. This ensures a tight, water-resistant connection between the two components.

The 142-0701-401 connector can be used in a variety of radio communication and signal transmission applications, and its reliable performance makes it a suitable choice for demanding environments. Additionally, its robust construction and MIL-STD compliance are designed to ensure minimum signal loss in high-frequency applications.
