How to choose RF connectors when using them

1.  Actual frequency range of use: The selected RF connector should conform to the actual frequency range of use.

2.  Electrical performance: Straight RF connectors have better electrical performance than curved connectors, with standing wave ratio and insertion loss being key indicators. Low standing wave ratio and good performance; Low insertion loss results in high signal transmission efficiency.

3.  Impedance matching: The selected RF connector should have the same impedance as the connected RF connector or cable to ensure stable signal transmission.

4.  Mechanical performance: The EMC performance of threaded connectors is better than that of slot and push-pull connectors, making them suitable for applications that require high electromagnetic compatibility.

5.  Materials and coatings: When there are special environmental requirements, the materials and coatings of RF connectors need to be considered to ensure their stability and durability in specific environments.

7.  Universal and high-performance requirements: If a universal RF connector can meet the requirements, then a high-performance RF connector is not chosen to reduce costs.
