What types of adapters and/or connectors does Aeroflex / Weinschel offer? Aeroflex / Weinschel offers a wide variety of precision SMA, 2.92mm, Type N, 3.5mm, 2.4mm and male, female, and sexless combinations of adapters from which to choose. Also, Aeroflex / Weinschel manufactures a wide range of Blind-mate Connectors and our own PLANAR CROWN® Connector System. All Aeroflex / Weinschel components are designed and manufactured to obtain low SWR and excellent repeatability over the longest possible operational life. Other features of Aeroflex / Weinschel Adapters and Connectors include: 1. High Repeatability. 2. Quality Connectors - SMA, Type N, 3.5mm, 2.92mm, and 2.4mm. 3. Bulkhead Mounting Available 4. Broad Frequency Range - dc to 40 GHz. What are Blind-mate Connectors and where would I use them? Aeroflex / Weinschel Blind-mate connector series provides threadless connector mating which is useful when mating an array of connectors on one RF module to another array within seconds. Each connector pair will tolerate a radial and axial offset of 0.02 inch and still meet all of its electrical specifications. These connectors simplify RF connections in the most inaccessible regions and high package density systems where conventional threaded connector mating is extremely difficult. What is the advantages of using Aeroflex / Weinschel PLANAR CROWN® connectors?. The Aeroflex / Weinschel PLANAR CROWN® Universal Connector System incorporates design and application features that eliminate the mechanical, electrical and economical drawbacks of standard bulkhead connectors, connector savers, cable connectors and adapters. In one standard design, it has resolved connector related problems faced by users and manufacturers of instruments, cables and components, how to quickly and inexpensive to change connector series or replace damaged front panel connectors on instruments. This system features an operating frequency range of dc to 40 GHz; ability to maintain calibration integrity when changing connector types; and compatibility with all Type N, TNC, GPC-7, SMA, 2.92mm, and 2.4mm connectors used throughout the microwave industry. What is a Ruggedized SMA Connector? What is difference between Aeroflex / Weinschel precision SMA/ 2.92mm connectors and other SMA connectors? Typical commercial SMA connectors may have a useful SWR to 18 or 26 GHz; however, most absorb energy between 22 and 25 GHz due to TEM mode conversion. A mated pair could have between 0.5 dB to 2.0 dB insertion loss. A mated pair of Aeroflex / Weinschel Precision Miniature connectors (2.92mm), which mate with SMA type connectors, have a VSWR of less than 1.25 and an insertion loss of less than 0.5 dB to 26 GHz. The new 2.92mm expands this range to 40 GHz. All Aeroflex / Weinschel SMA connectors labeled as ruggedized have a dielectric insulator at the interface of the connector to provide additional support for the center conductor during connects and disconnects and to keep out foreign material. This provides an important benefit-improved axial alignment of the center contact. This substantially reduces finger breakage of the female contact. Longevity of the Aeroflex / Weinschel SMA connector is enhanced because of the increased shoulder-wall thickness of the male connector shell. Typically, a standard SMA male connector shell has a 0.0065 inch wide shoulder. Compare that to 0.018 inch for the Aeroflex / Weinschel SMA series. The shoulder of most SMA male connectors gradually collapses from use. This causes the center contact to exceed the maximum height tolerance and eventually destroys the mating female contact. This will not happen with a Aeroflex / Weinschel SMA connector. 179 5305 Spectrum Drive, Frederick, MD 21703-7362 s TEL: 301-846-9222, 800-638-2048 s Fax: 301-846-9116 web: www.aeroflex.com/weinschel s email: [email protected] Revision Date: 9/30/2012 Coaxial Adapters Model 1568 & 1568-1 Precision Coaxial Panel Adapters Ruggedized SMA Connectors (female to female) EXPRESS www.argosysales.com 800-542-4457 Features dc to 26.5 GHz RoHS TEMPERATURE RANGE: -55°C to +100°C CONSTRUCTION: Inner and outer conductors: heat treated beryllium copper, gold plated.
