2.4mm Type RF Connector Features

High frequency

We have a lineup of products that can be used from DC to 50 GHz high frequency bandwidth. By changing the insulator from Teflon to air and increasing the outer diameter to 2.4 mm, the connectors can handle even higher frequencies than SMA connectors.

Compatibility

2.4mm connectors are compatible with 1.85mm V connectors; they are not compatible with SMA connectors, 3.5mm connectors, or 2.92mm K connectors and cannot be mated.

Tiny

The compact connector enables high-density mounting in a small space, not only for wiring in equipment, but also for connection between subassemblies that make up the equipment and between equipment.

2.4mm Type RF Connector Applications

Satellite onboard, military equipment, aviation onboard equipment, network analyzers, etc.

2.4mm Type RF Connector FAQ

QWhat is the difference to SMA connectors?

A

The 2.4mm connector has a 2.4mm outer diameter by changing the insulator from Teflon to air. This allows for an even higher waveguide mode cutoff frequency, achieving an operating frequency of DC to 50 GHz.
Similar in shape to SMA connector, 3.5mm connector, and 2.92mm K connector, but cannot be mated. 1.85mm V connector can be mated.

> 3.5mm
> 2.92mm K
> 1.85mm V

QAre there connectors with even higher frequency and smaller size?

A

An even higher frequency and smaller connector is the 1.85mm V connector that supports up to 67GHz. This connector is currently under development.
An even smaller connector in a lower frequency band is the SMP connector, which supports frequencies up to 40 GHz.
