Coaxial Connectors (RF) offer excellent performance over a wide range of frequencies, making them widely used in a variety of applications. The PL130C-F3 is a type of RF connector designed for use in digitally-controlled, radio frequency (RF) systems, described here in detail.

Overview

The PL130C-F3 is a coaxial connector that is designed to interconnect two coaxial cables in a securely mounted system, minimizing the risk of short-circuiting from the cable’s internal metal shielding. In addition to its proven reliability, the design of the PL130C-F3 allows for greater frequency response and therefore less signal loss due to attenuation. The connector also offers an impedance of 50 Ω, ensuring that the signals between two connected cables remain coherent and relatively noise-free. Moreover, the matte-black protective coating of the connector ensures excellent electromagnetic and environmental shielding characteristics.

Application Field

The PL130C-F3 is an ideal solution for building secure, high-performance RF systems. This type of coaxial connector is commonly used in satellite communications, broadcast transmission lines, base station installations, and any system that requires a reliable connection between two coaxial cables for accurate signal transfer. The PL130C-F3 meets the requirements of MIL-STD-348, ensuring that the connectors are compatible with commercial and military platforms, allowing for wide application flexibility.

Working Principle

The PL130C-F3 is designed to ensure that the orientation (polarity) of the two mating connectors is correct when connecting the cables. To achieve this, the design has a push-pull coupling mechanism which provides for ease of use and secure attachment for each connector. Additionally, the connectors have sliding ferrule seals which provide excellent EMI protection thereby improving the signal transfer between the two cables.

When the connector is connected to the coaxial cable, contact is made between the signal pair\'s outer shield and the contact pins in the center of the connector. This allows current to flow away from the signal pair and back into the ground, preventing any RF leakage which could affect the signal transfer between connected devices. Additionally, the PL130C-F3\'s secure design ensures that the connector remains locked in place, enabling the user to easily connect and disconnect the connector safely without any disruption to the signal path.

Conclusion

The PL130C-F3 is an excellent choice for high-performance RF systems, offering an impedance of 50˚ and excellent shielding characteristics. This coaxial connector is designed for wide application, being both MIL-STD-348 compliant and proven reliable in commercial and military applications. Furthermore, its secure design ensures that each connector remains firmly locked in place without the risk of RF leakage.
