N-type plug connector by Amphenol RF connects antennas within a device
Coaxial cable manufacturer, Amphenol RF, has added an N-type connector to its cable assembly series, which it describes as a between-series of N-type plug to SMA plug assemblies.
The new N-type plug to SMA plug assemblies is designed on flexible RG-142 cable which offers a low loss solution with a bend radius of one inch / 25mm. The N-type to SMA assembly provides reliable electrical performance up to 11GHz and features threaded interfaces on both ends for secure mating. Both the N-type and SMA connectors feature rugged bodies machined from brass. The N-type connector is nickel-plated while the SMA connector is gold-plated. Both connectors are engineered with gold-plated, brass contacts.
The N-type to SMA fixed length cable assembly joins a robust portfolio of flexible assemblies engineered on a variety of industry-standard cable types. Flexible cable types are ideal for compact devices where space is a consideration, said Amphenol RF. These assemblies are available in standard lengths from six inches to three metres.
The company said that the combination of the more ruggedised N-type connector with the lightweight, compact SMA connectors provides a versatile solution for applications such as connecting to antennas within a device, radar, satellite systems and broadcast equipment.
Amphenol RF manufactures coaxial connectors for use in radio frequency, microwave, and data transmission system applications. The company is headquartered in Danbury, Connecticut, USA and has sales, marketing and manufacturing locations in North America, Asia and Europe.
Standard products include RF connectors, coaxial adapters and RF cable assemblies. Custom engineered products include multi-port ganged interconnect, blind mate and hybrid mixed-signal solutions.
