8001-4103

Coaxial Connectors (RF) - Contacts

Coaxial connectors are often referred to as RF contacts due to their capability to transmit and receive radiowaves in an efficient manner. The 8001-4103 series of connectors are designed to be used in radio frequency applications, and they are ideally suited for applications ranging from high-powered telecommunications projects to low-powered amateur radio applications. The 8001-4103 series is one of the most reliable interconnect solutions available today, and it is used in markets ranging from aerospace and military to consumer electronics.

The 8001-4103 series of contact configuration is optimized for RF applications requiring the highest levels of signal integrity. These connectors are designed with four pin contacts, two for power and two for data, arranged in a co-axial configuration, providing a low-impedance, high-end fixed connection. This ensures maximum shielding and enables signals to pass through with minimal interference. The contact’s interface with the host system uses a self-locking mechanism which prevents accidental disconnection.

The 8001-4103 coaxial connector configuration is designed so that it requires no soldering or other electrical work. The unique design also eliminates the need for conventional pin-and-socket soldering. Instead, mounting screws on the 8001-4103 series firmly press the contacts within the host system, creating the reliable fixed connection that is needed for RF signals. The integrity of the connection is then tested using a specialized test probe. This probe measures the impedance of the controlled electrical current and is able to detect the presence of any resistance. If any impedance is detected, it indicates that a loose or damaged contact is likely to be the cause.

The 8001-4103 series connectors are RoHS compliant and have a UL rating of 94 V-0. This rating is based on the materials used to construct the connector, and it is important to note that the UL 94 V-0 rating means that these contacts will not burn or ignite when under low voltage loads.

The 8001-4103 series connectors are constructed from high-grade materials, including nickel-plated contacts, stainless steel shells and a vinyl over-molding designed for durability and protection against environmental conditions. The contacts also feature a gold-plated surface for maximum conductivity and protection against oxidation. The design and construction of the 8001-4103 series make them ideal for a variety of applications, from aerospace to consumer electronics.

In conclusion, the 8001-4103 series of coaxial connectors are perfect for RF applications that require the highest levels of signal integrity. These connectors are designed for both low-power and high-power applications, and they offer the reliability and performance demanded by today’s telecommunications and wireless industries. With their self-locking mechanism, gold-plated contacts and RoHS compliant construction, these contacts are sure to provide years of reliable service.
