TNC RF Connectors classification and usage description
TNC RF Connectorsare usually detachable elements attached to a cable or device for electrical connection to a transmission line system. From this definition, it can be seen that it has a“Detachable element” the common characteristic of the connector.
TNC RF Connectorsare mainly divided into three categories: RF coaxial Connectors, RF tri-coaxial Connectors, and double-core symmetric TNC RF Connectors.
The main uses are as follows:
1. RF coaxial connectors: mainly used to transmit transverse electromagnetic wave (TEM wave) ;
2. RF triaxial connector: it is mainly used to transmit transversal electromagnetic waves (TEM wave) or transmission pulse waves when the shielding efficiency is higher
3. Double-core symmetric TNC RF Connectors: these Connectors are used to transmit low-speed digital signals.
1) the main performance parameters of RF coaxial connectors include characteristic impedance, operating frequency, echo loss, insertion loss, isolation, RF leakage, phase consistency, third-order intermodulation, etc.
2) common materials and coatings for RF coaxial connectors
TNC RF Connectorsare mainly composed of external conductors, internal conductors, and insulating support media, etc. . The common materials are as follows:
★External conductor: stainless steel passivation, copper alloy gold plating, copper alloy nickel plating, copper alloy plating ternary alloy, etc.
★Inner conductor: gold-plated copper alloy, silver-plated copper alloy, etc.
★Insulating Support Media: PTFE, PEI, LCP, etc.
The above is the classification and purpose of TNC RF Connectors. We hope to help you and feel free to contact us if you need any help with this.
