172385

Coaxial Connectors (RF) are an integral part of many communication systems, from low frequency voice to high frequency data. The 172385 is an example of a high performance coaxial connector used in radio frequency (RF) applications. This connector is designed to deliver maximum energy transfer between two devices through its impedance coupling, small size and lightweight design. The connector also boasts high isolation for low signal levels and up to 1000Vrms of dielectric insulation.

In order to work effectively, the 172385 needs to be coupled with appropriately sized cables, which should generally have a relative dielectric constant between 2.2 and 11. This relative dielectric constant helps the connector to properly phase out signals at the desired frequency and properly reject other signals.

The 172385 connector also uses a coaxial structure, which is essential for RF applications. In a coaxial structure, the inner and outer conductors are concentric and separated by a dielectric material. This allows the connector to provide both a low impedance and high signal isolation at RF frequencies.

The 172385 connector also uses a special design feature called a radio frequency floating ground, which allows the connector to float above the chassis ground and provide a high level of electrical protection against external interference. This floating ground also prevents any voltage difference between the inner and outer conductors from affecting the transmission line characteristics.

Aside from its use in RF applications, the 172385 connector is also used for analog and digital signal transmission. Its small size and low weight make it perfect for use in mobile systems. The connector is also highly temperature stable, making it a good choice for it extreme condition applications.

The 172385 connector is reliable and easy to install and remove. It features a positive lock and release system, which prevents the connector from accidentally disconnecting during use. The connector also supports a variety of snap-on accessories such as EMI/RFI filters and PID modules, making it a versatile and cost-effective choice for many applications.

Overall, the 172385 coaxial connector is a reliable and highly efficient choice for any application that requires high performance transmission of RF signals. Its small size and lightweight design make it an ideal choice for mobile applications, while its floating ground feature provides excellent isolation and protection against external interference. In addition, it is compatible with a variety of snap-on accessories for added flexibility and cost-savings.
