Adapters

Inter series coaxial adapters are some of the more common components used n RF, microwave and wireless applications. OEM’s and manufacturing and engineering test facilities are continually required to provide temporary or permanent connections between the many coaxial series in use. This is particularly true today, where long-established connector series (N, TNC, BNC, 874, SMA, etc.) must be mated with less common and more recently introduced interfaces (3.5mm, 2.9mm, 2.4mm, 7/17, SSMA, SSMB, SSMC, MCX, MMCX, 7 mm).

Coaxicom manufactures standard and precision adapters. Where applicable, standard adapters use an “A” suffix in the part number and are usable to frequencies less than 12 GHz for N and TNC, or up to the recommended frequency range for the other series. Most are nickel-plated brass. Precision adapters feature stainless steel construction for more precise interface and an extended frequency range for the N. and TNC series. In case of precision N, TNC or SMAs intercede with lower frequency series, the precise construction and stepped internal transition yields improved performance beyond the normal operating range of the lower series.
