Description

Definition of "N F 1/4" SF CLAMP" N F 1/4" SF CLAMP refers to a specific type of RF connector used in telecommunications and RF (radio frequency) applications. Here's a detailed breakdown of what the term means: N (Connector Type): The "N" refers to the N-type connector, a threaded, medium-sized RF connector widely used in applications requiring high performance and durability. It is designed for frequencies up to 18 GHz and offers excellent resistance to weather and vibration, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. F (Gender): The "F" indicates the gender of the connector. In this case, "F" means the connector is Female, meaning it has a receptacle design to accept the male counterpart (plug). 1/4" SF (Cable Type): This indicates the type of cable compatible with the connector. "1/4" SF" refers to a 1/4-inch Superflexible coaxial cable, which is known for its flexibility and ease of installation in tight spaces while maintaining reliable electrical performance. CLAMP (End Joining Type): "CLAMP" describes the method used to attach the connector to the cable. A clamp-style connector doesn't require soldering; instead, it uses mechanical pressure to secure the cable to the connector, ensuring a solid electrical and mechanical connection. Usage: N F 1/4" SF CLAMP connectors are commonly used in: Cellular and broadcast communication systems. RF testing and measurement setups. Military and aerospace applications where ruggedness and reliability are crucial. This connector is ideal for applications requiring frequent assembly or disassembly and environments that demand high durability and robust electrical performance.
