FAA.0E.250.CTA

Coaxial connectors, in particular ones used in radio-frequency (RF) applications, play an essential role in ensuring an electrical signal is transferred through cable efficiently. In an RF application, it is vital that the impedance of the connector matches the input and output impedance of an associated device, as well as the characteristic impedance of the cable. The FAA.0E.250.CTA is one such type of connector specifically designed for coaxial cable applications.

The FAA.0E.250.CTA connector is a miniature, low-cost, push-on style connector with excellent electrical characteristics and reliable performance up to 3GHz. It is designed to match the impedance of the coaxial cable by having two concentric circular conductors—an outer insulating sheath and an inner conductor—with the two components separated by a dielectric. It is also noted for its “snap-on” feature that means it can be quickly connected and disconnected from the coaxial cable without the need for specialized tools.

The FAA.0E.250.CTA is a popular choice for a variety of applications, particularly those requiring multiple connections. It is commonly used for broadcast and CATV installations, as the connector’s small size and low cost make it well-suited for these types of applications. It is also frequently used in consumer electronics, such as smartphones, tablets, and television sets, for connecting to an external antenna. Additionally, the connector can be found in numerous military and aerospace applications. The FAA.0E.250.CTA can also be used to connect components within a piece of RF equipment, or to connect two pieces of equipment.

The FAA.0E.250.CTA connector has a wide range of features that make it especially suited for RF applications. The primary component of the connector is the center contact, which is an elongated pin that fits inside the inner conductor of the cable. This contact is designed to protect the inner conductor from the stresses of connecting and disconnecting the connector. Additionally, the connector has a shield placed between the inner conductor and outer sheath, which protects the signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Furthermore, the connector is designed with a strain relief feature, which helps keep the cable from bending at sharp angles and potentially damaging the inner conductor.

The FAA.0E.250.CTA is a versatile and reliable connector suitable for a variety of applications. Its small size and low cost make it particularly popular in broadcast and consumer electronics applications. Additionally, its electrical characteristics and features make it well-suited for RF applications, ensuring an electrical signal is transferred through cable efficiently.
