1、 Overview of RF coaxial connectors
A connector is a functional element that connects, disconnects, or converts circuits or optical channels by means of electrical or optical signals and mechanical forces. According to different types of transmission signals, connectors are mainly divided into optical connectors and electrical connectors. Electrical connector generally consists of contact, base and housing.
RF coaxial connector belongs to network coverage equipment and is an important connecting element in microwave transmission system. The connectable circuits mainly include RF cable, microstrip circuit and printed circuit. Its performance requirements are the same as the high-frequency coaxial transmission line, requiring small reflection, low loss and large transmission frequency bandwidth. RF coaxial connector has good broadband transmission characteristics and a variety of convenient connection methods, which makes it more and more widely used in communication equipment, weapon systems, instruments and household appliances. Compared with other electronic components, the development history of RF coaxial connectors is relatively short, which can be roughly divided into the following stages.
