Coaxial Connectors (RF)

Coaxial connectors are an integral part of modern electronics. They are used to connect components together in various electrical and electronic circuits. They are typically used to connect cables between two components or to a network, and to connect circuitry within electronic equipment. The most popular type of coaxial connectors are the Radio Frequency (RF) connectors.

142-0701-501 is a type of RF connector manufactured by SMA America Corporation. It is a non-magnetic, low-loss, high-frequency connection assembly made of aluminum alloy. It features a threaded post-modern design and has a reverse-polarity or coaxial action. This means it has a built-in spring pin that locks into the connector when the central screw is tightened. It also has a unique self-adjusting sealing collar that can accommodate different amounts of cable tolerance.

This 142-0701-501 RF connector is used in a wide variety of applications, such as for instruments, telecommunication, medical imaging, microwave radio systems, satellite communications and other high-frequency circuitry. It has a robust construction and is able to accommodate a variety of frequencies, making it ideal for use in very demanding environments.

This RF connector also has some distinct advantages over other types of connectors, such as low insertion loss and superior electrical performance. It has a low VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) and is also highly immune to temperature changes. It features a reliable and secure locking system that helps minimize RF leakage and improves the performance of the circuit.

The working principle of this 142-0701-501 RF connector is fairly simple and straightforward. It is a two-conductor connector that uses a central connector pin surrounded by a connecting housing. This housing helps keep the central pin centered and ensures it makes a secure connection with the other components. The reverse-polarity or coaxial action ensures that the pin is locked into place when the screw is tightened. This provides a firm, reliable connection that is highly resistant to movement and vibration.

The 142-0701-501 RF connector is a versatile and reliable connector that is widely used in a variety of applications. It is highly efficient and reliable, and its unique self-adjusting sealing collar helps ensure a secure connection every time.
