228980-7

Coaxial Connectors (RF) are a type of electrical connectors specifically designed for the transmission of high frequency signals. The two most common types of coaxial connectors are the Type N and the Type 7/16, which are used for high-frequency radio transmissions. The 228980-7 connector is a variation of the Type 7/16 series that is designed to operate in harsh environments, making it suitable for outdoor applications.

The 228980-7 connector is designed to be waterproof and dustproof, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable and long-term performance in harsh environments. The connector utilizes a multi-threaded design to achieve reliable electrical connections with thread engagement for maximum performance. This is accomplished by the use of multiple threads, spaced in such a way that the beginning and end of each thread is oriented in a circular fashion, allowing for continuous, reliable contact between connectors.

The connection of the 228980-7 is achieved through a process known as "crimp bonding". This process involves the use of specialized crimps. These crimps are then tightened into place using specialized crimping tools, ensuring that they remain connected and that no electrical current is lost between connectors. Once crimped into place, the connection is completed and the electrical connection is now complete.

The 228980-7 also utilizes a series of miniature pins which are securely held and help to ensure that the electrical connections are reliable and long-lasting. These pins are connected to a larger, more robust ground pin which is then externally connected to your radio system. This provides additional protection against accidental contact and increases the reliability of the connection.

The 228980-7 also features an external O-ring gasket that creates a sealed area between the connector and the housing of the device. This gasket helps to protect against debris, dust, and other hazards that could potentially damage your device or interfere with the connection between the connector and your system. The external O-ring also helps to create an insulated connection which increases the performance of the connection over time.

Overall, the 228980-7 connector is an excellent choice for applications that require reliable connections in harsh environments. The combination of its waterproof, dustproof, and insulated design allows for secure connections that are capable of withstanding the harshest elements, ensuring that your system remains connected and operates correctly for years to come.
