RF connectors are precision components that provide electrical connection and signal transmission in radio frequency systems, ensuring minimal signal loss and impedance matching.
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| VSWR | 1.3:1 max at rated frequency | |
| IP Rating | IP67 for environmental sealing | |
| Impedance | 50Ω or 75Ω | |
| Mating Cycles | 500-5000 cycles | |
| Insertion Loss | 0.1-0.3 dB typical | |
| Frequency Range | DC to 18 GHz (standard), up to 67 GHz (precision) | |
| Operating Temperature | -65°C to +165°C |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is used in the following industrial products

Manufacturer profiles associated with RF Connectors.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
50Ω connectors are optimized for power handling and are standard in telecommunications and test equipment, while 75Ω connectors are designed for minimum signal loss and are common in video and cable television applications. They are not interchangeable due to impedance mismatch.
Consider frequency range, impedance requirements, power handling, environmental conditions, mating cycle durability, and compatibility with existing equipment. Consult manufacturer specifications for performance characteristics at your operating frequency.
Primary causes include impedance mismatch, poor contact surfaces, contamination, mechanical damage, improper installation, and wear from repeated mating cycles. Regular inspection and proper torque during installation minimize degradation.
