UPL2000-D12/B Connectors, Interconnects

Coaxial connectors are among the most commoin types which are used in various industries for electronic mating of two transmission lines. In particular, UPL2000-D12/B Coaxial Connector is widely used for radio frequency (RF) communications and transmissions. This article provides an overview of the application field and working principle of UPL2000-D12/B Coaxial Connector.

UPL2000-D12/B Application Field

UPL2000-D12/B Coaxial Connector is a 2-hole, push-pull type connector suitable for low-frequency radio applications. It is designed to meet the requirements of commercial and military RF systems. It is widely used in cable assembly, antenna integration, router manufacturing, telecom and radar systems, HF/VHF/UHF radios, mobile phones, video transceivers, digital radios, cable test systems, and other RF applications.

UPL2000-D12/B performs well in harsh environments, and its contact system and casing construction are especially designed to withstand a vast range of temperatures, atmospheric conditions, vibration, and EMI/RFI environments. Suited for repeating connections and disconnections, the UPL2000-D12/B offers dependable vibration resistance. Additionally, its low contact resistance provides continuous service, and ensures a low level of insertion loss, thereby reducing the risk of undesired interference from outside transmissions.

UPL2000-D12/B Working Principle

The UPL2000-D12/B Coaxial Connector has two parts: a male and a female connection. The male half of the connector is usually soldered to the cable, while the female half is soldered onto the PCB. The connector is then screwed into place. When correctly connected, the male connector pushes into the female connector and the contact pins inside the connectors are in contact with each other, allowing the transfer of signals.

The UPL2000-D12/B is composed of a rubber gasket, a threaded housing, and a two-piece contact system. The first part is typically composed of a beryllium copper contact tower that holds a series of contact pins. The second part is a floating pin that slides into the contact tower, maintaining contact with the outer contact pins. When the threaded housing is tightened, the two parts are held together with the rubber gasket acting as a cable strain relief. The contact system ensures high performance RF and electrical characteristics, including high-retention force, low flange pull-out, low reflectance, and low intermodulation.

Conclusion

UPL2000-D12/B Coaxial Connector is a reliable and versatile RF connector that can be used in many applications, ranging from commercial to military RF systems. It is well suited for harsh environments, and offers dependable vibration resistance. In addition, the contact system ensures high performance RF and electrical characteristics. Due to its flexible design, it is a go-to choice for those seeking reliable RF connections.
