​What should we notice in the use of RF connectors?

With the integration of RF connectors with sensors, a new type of 5G RF connector suitable for 5G wireless connections has been introduced. To implement wireless connections on a global scale, the cost of customized components for 5G wireless devices will be lower in the future, and reliability should be further strengthened.

What is the Connector size and durability of RF connectors?

Given the miniaturization trend, size plays an important role in the selection of connectors. There is a trade-off between RF connector size and service life. Smaller connectors usually have fewer connections/disconnections. The durability of the larger N-type connector may be greater than 500 mating cycles, while the durability of the mini U.FL connector is limited to 30 mating cycles. The service life of each connector varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. If service life is an important parameter, you should consult the manufacturer's specifications.

Coaxial connectors used in applications such as test and measurement instruments usually have a lot of mating times and are generally protected by "connector protectors". These easy-to-replace adapters mate with instrument connectors to provide a consumable connector base that can be used multiple times.

How to use RF connectors?

1. Before using the RF connector, you need to check for damage such as metal particles, bent center conductors, cracked or deformed shells. Any damage should be repaired, or the damaged connector should be replaced.

2. The RF connector should be kept clean and must not accumulate dust or other contaminants.

3. The RF connector base should fit smoothly without sticking or jamming. Do not force the connectors to pair; if a problem occurs, check the connector again to determine the source of the problem.

4. When mating the threaded RF connector, please turn only the shell, not the connector base or the cable. Rotating the connector base may damage the center conductor. After tightening the outer sleeve manually, use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve the specified tightening torque according to the manufacturer's instructions.

What causes errors in the mechanical properties of the RF connector?

1.The bonding force of the RF connector depends on the surface roughness, sliding friction, size and elastic contact.

2.The separation force of the RF connector depends on the sliding friction.

3.The torque of the connecting nut of the RF connector depends on the mechanical stability.

4.The acceptance tightness of the RF connector is related to the size of the inner conductor.

5.The durability of the RF connector depends on the wear and elasticity of the material.

6.The cable retention of the RF connector depends on the wear of the material, the size of the connector, and the cable.
