Coaxial Connectors (RF)

Coaxial connectors are electrical connectors which are used for RF signal connection between two or more circuits. They are widely used in various applications fields such as broadcasting, wireless communications, audio/video transmission, computer systems, and other high frequency applications. The 6717 is a type of RF coaxial connector which is typically used in applications where a higher level of performance is required. It is commonly used in wireless or broadcast transmitters, radio link and satellite communication systems, or military and aviation applications.

Working Principle

RF Connectors employ the principles of transmission line theory to transfer signals between two points. Coaxial Connectors essentially consist of two conductive surfaces, one inside the other. The inner to outer conductive surfaces create a transmission line effect which helps in maintaining signal integrity between the two points, by providing consistent impedance along the length of the transmission line. The inner conductor acts as the signal path, and the outer conductor helps to shield the signal from external interference or crosstalk. When the RF Connectors are mated, the conductive surfaces make contact with each other and the transmission line effect is achieved. This results in better signal quality between the two points.

Application Field

The 6717 is a high performance RF connector which is frequently used when a high degree of performance and reliability is needed. It is commonly used in applications such as wireless and broadcast transmission, radio link and satellite communications, and aerospace and military applications. It is also suitable for use in general audio/video connection and data transmission.

The 6717 is specifically designed for use with semi-rigid coaxial cables. The precise construction of the connector ensures that the connection is airtight and secure. It has a rugged design which allows for superior performance in harsh environmental conditions. It also offers excellent RFI/EMI shielding performance and low signal insertion loss.

The 6717 connector is available in a variety of standard sizes and contact configurations. It can also be used with many different types of coaxial cables, including single and multi-conductor, as well as semi-rigid cables. It is an ideal choice for applications which require high performance and reliable connections.
