142-0801-831 Connectors, Interconnects

Coaxial Connectors (RF)

Coaxial connectors, commonly known as RF connectors, are an integral part of telecommunications systems that transmit radio frequency (RF) signals. The 142-0801-831 connectors are a variant of the coaxial connectors, which have broad application areas and adhere to the same working principle.

Application Areas of the 142-0801-831 Coaxial Connectors

The 142-0801-831 connectors are primarily used for higher frequency application, such as in satellite antenna systems, broadcasting, and radio communication systems. Their use ranges from military and aerospace fields to the consumer market, and they are frequently utilized in communication systems. Examples include connecting digital and analogue signals in radio and television antenna systems, mobile communication systems as well as CATV systems. They are also widely applied in high frequency test and measurement applications.

Working Principle of the 142-0801-831 Coaxial Connectors

The core of the working principle of the 142-0801-831 connectors is the shielding effect. They are fitted with a co-axial cable, which consists of an outer conductor, an inner conductor, and insulation between the two. The outer conductor is designed to create a continuous shield around the inner conductor, which is meant to reduce external interference and create consistent and reliable transmission of RF signals. Moreover, this shielding effect is increased at higher frequencies.

The number of contacts and their arrangement vary between different 142-0801-831 connectors, depending on the application. However, they all include an outer body, an RF transmission line, and an inner core. The inner core, or dielectric insulator, is responsible for ensuring that the outer conductor does not make contact with the inner conductor. It is usually made of ceramic or PTFE material. Furthermore, the connectors come with a locking mechanism that ensures a secure and reliable connection.

The 142-0801-831 connectors are designed to ensure that the outer conductor runs without any sharp corners or abrupt bends. This is done to minimize the electromagnetic energy escape, which ensures greater signal transmission. To increase the shielding effect and electrical conductivity, the connectors are also sealed using specialized shielding materials.

With its excellent shielding effect and versatile applications, the 142-0801-831 connectors are a reliable and cost-effective solution for transmitting RF signals. They are used in a variety of applications and provide reliable transmission of RF signals in communication systems, satellites, broadcast, and other high frequency applications.
