PL375-23 Connectors, Interconnects

Coaxial Connectors (RF)

The PL375-23 coaxial connector is a specialized type of radio frequency (RF) connector derived from the PL25-23 trunk connector. The PL375-23 connector series is designed for use in high frequency applications such as mobiles, base stations, and civilian or military aircraft. The main advantages of the PL375-23 connector series are its low size, weight, and profile; as well as its resistance to vibration and shock. In addition, its high operating frequency range ensures that it can be used for a variety of radio frequency applications.

Application Field

The PL375-23 connector series is designed for use in a wide range of applications, ranging from mobile telecommunications and base station antennas to military and civilian aircraft antennas. The PL375-23 series is suitable for applications requiring low size and weight, as well as vibration and shock resistance. The PL375-23 series also has a high operating frequency range, making it suitable for a range of radio frequency applications such as television, radio, and Wi-Fi.

Working Principle

The PL375-23 series uses a radial pin contact system, which consists of two components: an inner conductor and an outer contact. The inner conductor is a metal, and the outer contact is a dielectric or insulator material. The inner conductor of the connector is soldered securely to the cable. The outer contact is then attached to the inner conductor, and then the outer connector is mated with the outer contact. The outer contact is held in place with an O-ring. The O-ring creates a tight seal and prevents water and dust from entering the connector. The O-ring is also responsible for providing the electrical connection between the two contacts.

The PL375-23 series features a compact design and is highly weather resistant. The connector has a built-in ground terminal to ensure good electrical contact between the cable and the connector. It also has a dielectric material between the two contacts, which prevents arcing and interference. The connector is equipped with a latch which ensures a secure connection.

The PL375-23 series has a high-frequency and voltage rating, making it suitable for a variety of applications. It is a cost-effective alternative to traditional RF connectors and can be used in high-frequency applications such as mobile telecommunication and base station antennas. The PL375-23 series is also used in a variety of military and civilian aircraft.
