GT5-2428/F3.3-5SCF(70)

Coaxial connectors (RF) are one of the most commonly used connection types and are usually a combination of plug and socket type connectors, which have been designed to enable connection of electrical signals of very low amplitude and high frequency. The GT5-2428/F3.3-5SCF(70) is a well-known coaxial connector used for various applications in different sectors. This article will explain the application field and working principle of this connector.

Application Field

The GT5-2428/F3.3-5SCF(70) coaxial connector is designed for use in military and aerospace applications such as radar systems, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems, electronic warfare systems, satellite communication systems and other applications where high reliability and low loss performance are essential. It is also used in communication and digital applications, such as high speed communications between routers, multimedia applications, computer systems and Ethernet systems.

This connector is suitable for use in mobile phones, PDAs, telecommunications apparatus, Audio-Video products, computer peripherals, routers and modems. Its plug and receptacle components provide reliable electrical and mechanical performance even in the roughest environments. It is capable of handling very high transmission frequencies.

Working Principle

The GT5-2428/F3.3-5SCF(70) connector consists of a plug and socket, both of which feature a center pin which facilitates a quick but secure connection between the two components. This male-female connector is designed to be user-friendly and ergonomic as it can be easily assembled and operated. The connector’s components snap together and are securely linked by way of a positive locking mechanism.

This connector is built with a view to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. It features an internal shielding which is able to block unwanted noise from entering the circuit and thus preserving signal integrity. The coax cable is held in place by a compression fit mechanism where the cables straddling the connector are compressed against each other.

The contact pins of the plugs are built to transfer electrical current without much loss and the contact surfaces of the plugs are gold plated to provide superior electric conductivity. Both conductive components are made out of brass, making them very durable.

Conclusion

The GT5-2428/F3.3-5SCF(70) coaxial connector is a reliable and versatile component often used in demanding applications. Its plug and socket components have been specifically designed to reduce interference, protect signals and have customizable mating features. This connector features a resilient design and excellent electrical performance.
