With increasing RF signal transmission demands and advancements in digital signal processing, coaxial connectors (RF) are becoming essential in a wide range of applications. Coaxial connectors are multipurpose, design for high-frequency signals of different impedance values. It is used for modern digital systems, serial data, streaming audio/video signals, digital circuits, and other broadband communications. Generally, coaxial connectors are classified into different categories based on the construction of the connector, connector housing, and type of connection they create.

Coaxial connectors consist of a male and female component which are assembled together to create a tight connection. The male connector has a central rod with grooves or pins. The female connector has inner ridges that the male connector fits into. An airtight seal is created when these two pieces are connected because of the contact of the ridges. The types of coaxial connector includes BNC, TNC, 2.92mm, 2.4mm, SMA, SMB, SMC, N-type, HF-type, and RF-type. Each type of coaxial connector offers its own benefits and comes with its own unique characteristics.

The main components of a coaxial connector are the inner and outer conductors, insulator, connector housing, and the contacts. The function of each component is described below:

The inner conductor is the center pin of the connector and is made of a material that conducts electricity. The outer conductor, also referred to as the outer shield, is typically a braid of metal strands. This metal shielding prevents electromagnetic interference from entering the signal path. The insulator is an insulating material in between the inner and outer conductors and is typically made from foam or rubber. The connector housing is the body of the connector and is designed to provide strain relief and mechanical strength to the cable. The contacts are the interface between the inner and outer conductors and are generally gold-plated for maximum conductivity.

Terminators are an essential part of any coaxial connection. They are devices that are used to terminate or end coaxial cables to prevent signals from being reflections. The working principle of terminators is similar to that of resistors in that they provide a barrier to the signal path. Terminators are available in a variety of configurations and can be used with any type of coaxial connector for coaxial cable assemblies. They are available in both male and female configurations.

A major application field for coaxial connectors and terminators is the telecommunications industry. They are used for a variety of applications such as voice and data communication systems, broadband networks, and satellite communications. Coaxial connectors are also used in medical imaging, video broadcasting, television, radar, mobile phones, and computer peripherals. Terminators are also used for additional protection in applications with high frequency signals, including instrumentation amplifiers, temperature probes, and delay lines.

Coaxial connectors and terminators are essential components used for RF signal transmission. They are used in a wide range of applications to transmit signals with minimum signal losses. Coaxial connectors are typically designed for specific impedance or frequency ranges and are available in a variety of configurations. Terminators are designed to provide impedance matching and prevent signal reflections.
