TBF18-12PSB05 application field and working principle

Circular connectors are widely used in a variety of applications, such as aircraft, shipping, automobiles, computers, medical devices, communications and broadcasting, etc. TBF series connectors, as one of the circular connectors, designed with full shielding, are capable to work up to 2 GHz bandwidth for signals. Last three digit (e.g. 07 & 05) of TBF18-12PSB05 indicate its application and work concepts.

Application field

The third letter P in TBF18-12PSB05 stands for parity, which usually used to recognize the application field. It is marked on the back of the connectors to indicate the application of it. P stands for Precision, and used in computers, medical devices, and communication applications. S stands for Standard & Strain Relief, and is employed in aviation, shipping, automobiles and general industry. C stands for Crimp, and is applied in special application areas, such as electric power.

Working principle

The last two digits of TBF18-12PSB05 stand for the working principles. The TBF connectors were equipped with crimping points to secure the connection, which differentiate it from the older designs. 05 stands for lead-in crimp as well as external ground contacts. It is the extra ground contact, which makes it more secure and reliable than the previous versions. And also, 05 can guarantee stability in application of high-rf specification. Even in severe vibration conditions, it can hold its stability. In high-rf applications, internal strain relief is employed in 07 instead of external, to reduce the load on inner part of the connector.

As a result, TBF18-12PSB05 connectors not only provide maximum shielding effect, but also offer excellent vibration and shock capabilities, mechanical stability, and electromagnetic compatibility for both data and signals in the range of 2 GHz bandwidth. Thus, it is very suitable to be employed in computers, medical devices, communication, aviation, shipping, automobiles, electric power, and others.
