Coaxial Connectors (RF)

Coaxial connectors, also known as RF connectors, are a type of electrical connector commonly used in the communications, broadcast, military, aerospace, telecommunications, and data communications industries. They are designed to connect two pieces of coaxial cable, such as antenna cables, together, allowing for electromagnetic signals to be passed between them.

These connectors come in two main variants: male and female connectors. The male connector has a center conductor that provides contact the first mating surface, and an outer conductor that provides the second mating surface. The female connector has an inner sleeve with a hole in it, which provides the first mating surface. The outer conductor provides the second mating surface.

The 172202 coaxial connector is typically used in UHF and VHF systems with operating frequencies up to 800 MHz. It is a female 50 ohm connector and is often used with RG58 cables. The 172202 connector is designed with only one locking nut, which provides a very secure connection. It also has a very low insertion loss, which makes it a great choice for high frequency applications. It has a maximum voltage rating of 200 V rms and a maximum power rating of 13 W.

The 172202 coaxial connector’s working principle is quite simple. When two different types of coaxial cables are mated together, the two surface conductors form an electrical connection. The inner surface conductor comes in contact with the outer conductor which forms a continuous connection. The signal that passes through this connection is then carried by the inner and outer conductors to the device it is attached to.

The 172202 coaxial connector typically finds application in military and aerospace industries. For military applications, the 172202 is often used in aircraft navigation systems and for interconnect applications. In the aerospace industry, it is often used in satellite antennas and other data communications systems. The 172202 is also widely used in broadcast, telecommunications, and data communications.

The 172202 coaxial connector is an extremely versatile electrical connector that is used in a wide range of applications. It is designed to provide a secure, low-loss connection between two pieces of coaxial cable. Its low insertion loss and wide range of operating frequencies make it a great choice for UHF and VHF applications in a variety of industries including military, aerospace, broadcast, telecommunications, and data communications.
