ZA1310 Connectors, Interconnects

Coaxial Connectors (RF)

The ZA1310 series low-frequency RF coaxial connector is a durable, connectors that are used in telecommunications, instrumentation and medical equipment. These connectors are ideal for applications where size, weight, and performance are essential. The ZA1310 is a standard 2.9 mm coaxial contact with a locking mechanism which ensures its excel secure connection.

Application Field

The ZA1310 connector was used extensively in professional audio equipment as well as tested in cellular networks to measure gain and channel noise figure. It is a versatile, reliable, and economical solution for applications ranging from professional studios to test labs. It is also used for aerospace applications because of its reliable performance and wide frequency range. It is especially advantageous in controlled environments where coaxial cables and connector connections are persistent connections.

Working Principle

The ZA1310 series connector has a floating center pin with a bayonet locking mechanism. The locking shell has a thin lip which is used to toggle the pin in place. This pin locks into the inner wall of the connector and is held by an internal locking spring. This locking spring is also adjustable, allowing users to adjust their electrical connection. Furthermore, the center portion of the connector can also be adjusted, allowing the user to increase or decrease the contact area depending on the application.

When a cable with an attached ZA1310 connector is connected to the mating component, the internal locking spring is activated. This spring compresses against the edge of the center pin inside the connector. This creates an airtight RF seal in the connector, allowing for a secure and reliable connection. The ZA1310 connector also incorporates a gasket which aids in the airflow and pressure control in the connection.

Conclusion

In summary, the ZA1310 series coaxial connector is a reliable and durable RF connector used in many industries and applications. It is a reliable and economical solution for connecting a variety of components. Its locking mechanism and adjustable components make it easy to use and give it excellent performance in both controlled and uncontrolled environments. Furthermore, its size and weight make it a great choice for many applications.
