Working Principle

The VTW201 connector is an impedance controlled coaxial connector which utilizes a male-female threaded coupling mechanism to achieve a reliable connection. The connector is designed to mate with solid outer conductor cables, and features excellent performance characteristics including reliable performance due to its proven, phase-stable design and high power handling capability.

The VTW201 connector features an impedance of 50 or 75 ohms, depending on the application. The body material is composed of an electrically conductive material, usually brass. It features a high-quality gold pancake contact that holds a gold wire and provides superior electrical performance in harsh conditions over a wide temperature range. The contact is sealed in the shell with a special design for enhanced strain relief.

The VTW201 connector is designed with an integral rear-locking feature that provides an improved connection between the inner and outer conductors, and ensures reliable and repeatable mating cycles.

Advantages

The VTW201 connector is designed for high performance applications where signal quality is a top priority. The integral rear locking feature and superior gold-plated contacts ensure reliable and high quality connections. The small profile of the connector, along with its impressive power handling capabilities, makes this type of connector an ideal choice for applications that require superior performance in space-constrained applications.

The VTW201 connector provides an efficient solution when it comes to cost and time savings, as it is suitable for a variety of applications. The connector is highly reliable in harsh environments due to its gold-plated contact and hermetically sealed-cap. Finally, its corrosion resistance ensures a long service life, thus improving productivity in applications where maintenance is especially costly.
