PLR455ACPP-201

Coaxial connectors are important device components used in numerous electronic applications, including radio and TV transmissions and telecommunication systems. The PLR455ACPP-201 is a specific type of connector that includes characteristics of a coaxial cable and is designed for use in radio frequency applications. This section provides an overview of the PLR455ACPP-201 application field and working principle.

Application Field

The PLR455ACPP-201 is a type of RF connector used in radio and data communication applications requiring frequencies of up to 4.5GHz. This connector is a great choice for low frequency applications, such RCVAR (Radio Controlled Vehicle Audio-Range) systems which need connectors with higher resistance and lower insertion loss. The connector features a 12 millimeter (mm) barrel length and has an impedance of 50 ohms.

Working Principle

The PLR455ACPP-201 works on a basic principle in which one component comprises of an internal conductor contained in a surrounding insulated material. This defines the impedance of the RF connector. The inner conductor is usually made of solid brass foil or a wound copper wire litz, and acts as the internal shield for the betterment of the signal transmission.

The outer conductor of the PLR455ACPP-201 is made of a flexible copper braid made in two components, which is designed to provide a reliable and easily maintained connection between telecommunications and cable applications. It is designed to have two contact points where the inner conductor and the outer conductors communicate. This interaction increases the shielding effectiveness and greatly reduces the level of return loss.

The internal parameters are also designed for low pushing and pulling forces, meaning it is easy to disengage the connection. Furthermore, the optional silicone gasket within the connector makes it suitable for installation in harsh environment, including extreme weather and vibration applications.

Conclusion

The PLR455ACPP-201 is designed for applications with radio frequencies of up to 4.5GHz. It offers a reliable connection between telecommunications and cable applications due to its low pushing and pulling forces. The optional silicone gasket also offers protection in harsh environment applications. Thanks to its low insertion loss and unique two component copper braid design, the PLR455ACPP-201 is a perfect choice for a variety of RF applications.
