51K204-400A5

Coaxial Connectors (RF)

The 51K204-400A5 is a type of coaxial connector, commonly referred to as an RF connector. It is most commonly used in applications such as wireless communications, fiber optics and military. The connector is designed for use with semi-rigid cables, which have an outer cable jacket made of a flexible but resilient material. It is available in both straight and right-angle configurations and can support frequencies up to 18GHz.

A coaxial connector consists of two parts, a male and female, which must be mated together to form a complete connection. The male portion, also known as a plug, contains the contacts for making the electrical connection and the female portion contains a receptacle for these contacts. The receptacle also has a circular or conical cavity which aligns with a similarly shaped body on the male portion, allowing the two to mate and form a solid connection.

The 51K204-400A5 is designed to provide a reliable connection at frequencies up to 18GHz. It offers low reflection and insertion loss, making it particularly suited to applications where signal quality is important. The connector is rated for mating cycles up to 500, making it quite reliable for repeated connections and disconnections.

The majority of the material used in the construction of the 51K204-400A5 is brass. This material provides a good electrical and thermal connection, as well as a high mechanical strength. The contacts are made from gold or nickel plating, depending on the application, to ensure reliable connections. The connector is also designed to be RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant.

In addition, the 51K204-400A5 offers excellent stability in varying environmental conditions. It is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C and has been tested to meet vibration requirements of MIL-VP8A. The connector is also designed to meet the rigorous requirements of IP66/IP68 water Tight standards.

Overall, the 51K204-400A5 is a reliable and resilient coaxial connector. Its robust construction and choice of materials make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including wireless communications, fiber optics and military. It is designed to provide a secure connection at frequencies up to 18GHz and is rated for up to 500 mating cycles. Furthermore, it is designed to operate in varying environmental conditions and meet the requirements of a number of specifications.
