How to choose the right RF connector

How to choose the right RF connector
With the laying and promotion of electrified pipelines, the sales of electronic products have increased year after year. In the production process of electronic products, RF connector interfaces are needed. There are many types of RF connectors that can be used in this industry, and with the continuous development of science and technology, this number is still increasing. So how should manufacturers choose the right RF connector among the many connectors?

1. test its mechanical properties

The mechanical properties of RF connectors in terms of connection functions, when purchasing, you need to pay special attention to the insertion and extraction force in the connection function. The insertion force is divided into two aspects: insertion force and pull-out force. Comparing these two aspects can not be considered simply from the perspective of size, but should be judged according to the effect required when using. For example, in order to improve the reliability at the time of contact, it is necessary to reduce the insertion force and increase the extraction force. Moreover, the plugging force of the RF connector is related to the contact structure, the plating quality of the contact part, and the dimensional accuracy of the contact arrangement, so testing its mechanical properties can determine what kind of connector is worth buying.

2. choose according to the electrical performance

The electrical properties of RF connectors include contact resistance, insulation resistance and electrical strength. The contact resistance of an RF connector that is worth choosing is often relatively low, and the overall operation process is relatively stable. The insulation resistance of the connector is used to measure the performance of the insulation between the connector contacts and the contact and the housing. The high insulation resistance indicates that the insulation performance is good, so the connector is worth choosing. The remaining one is also known as the electrical strength of the RF connector called voltage resistance, the level of this value often affects the contact between the contact or between the contact and the housing to withstand the rated test voltage capacity of the size. By looking at the level of these three values, you can determine which connector is worth choosing.

The emergence of RF connectors plays an important role in many aspects of industrial production, so many manufacturers are very concerned about the choice of this product. If you want to choose the right RF connector in many products, you need to test its mechanical properties and choose according to the electrical properties.
