Coaxial connectors help carry radio frequency signals. Also called coax connectors, these components are attached to the end of a coaxial cable. Made of metal, they are usually plated with gold, tin or nickel. Most coaxial connectors consist of long metal sleeve trailing away from the top of the connector that slides over the cable. The connectors are also used to connect the coaxial cable to a jack or an outlet on a set-top box, television, electronic equipment, communication systems, or other device. There are different types of coaxial connectors used for audio jacks, microphone jacks, speaker jacks, headphone jacks, TV, radio jacks and RCA video jacks among other types of connectors. Generally, coaxial cables are available in black-colored plastic layer that protects the inside delicate layers (the center core conductor, the metallic shield and dielectric insulator), while a coaxial connector protects the exposed end of a cable and prevents it from interference and damage. Coaxial cable carries TV and data signals through a home or across long distances. Today, you can get many different varieties of coaxial connectors to choose from in the market.
An RF coaxial connector is designed to work at radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range. This electrical connector is a common type of coaxial connector that is used with coaxial cables. The main function of an RF connector is to maintain the signal integrity that the coaxial design offers. A high quality RF connector, mechanically, is a fastening mechanism for a low ohmic electric contact that provides over 1000 reconnects while reducing the insertion force.
Today, there are global suppliers of industry standard and custom made radio frequency connectivity solutions. Connextec is one such global entity that offers connectivity solutions to solve RF connectivity problems.
