Coaxial connectors (RF) have become an integral component of many electronic systems due to their versatility and reliability. Many designs have been developed over the years but the 6-1393670-4 series is a modern iteration that has become one of the most popular. This article provides an overview of the 6-1393670-4 series and their various applications as well as a detailed explanation of the connector’s working principle.
Applications
The 6-1393670-4 series is designed to provide efficient signal transmission with excellent impedance. As a result, the connctor is widely used in the following areas:
- Telecommunications – the 6-1393670-4 series provides reliable signal transmission in a variety of communication networks including point-to-point telephone systems, radio networks, and cellular systems.
- Broadcast systems – the connectors are also used in broadcast systems such as high-definition TV and satellite receivers.
- Computer networking – the 6-1393670-4 series is commonly employed in both wired and wireless computer networking.
Beyond these applications, the 6-1393670-4 series is also widely used in medical imaging, avionics, and other high-end industries.
Working Principle
The 6-1393670-4 series consists of a pair of connectors that plug into each other. These connectors have a cylindrical shape and contain centers that match exactly to form a closed circuit. The connectors are designed to ensure excellent impedance with minimum signal loss.
The connectors are made up of a variety of components, including an outer sleeve, inner pin, and dielectric. The outer sleeve is a cylindrical shell with a ridge running along the length. This ridge is placed on the center of the shell and provides two points of contact that form an electrical pathway when connected. The inner pin is placed at the center of the shell and provides the other point of contact. Finally, the dielectric is a hollow, non-conductive space between the two points of contact that allows the connectors to maintain their impedance.
The finish of the 6-1393670-4 series is important to ensure reliable electrical contact and prevents corrosion. The connectors can be plated in gold, silver, or nickel to provide maximum performance.
Conclusion
The 6-1393670-4 series of coaxial connectors are versatile, reliable, and easy to use. They are widely used in telecommunications, broadcast, and computer networking, as well as a variety of other industries. The working principle of the connector is based on the cylindrical shape of the external sleeve and the hollow space created by the dielectric that allows for excellent impedance.
