Insulating Material｜Glossary
This section is part of the Coaxial Connector Glossary for RF and coaxial systems.
What Is an Insulating Material?
An insulating material is a material that does not conduct electricity and is used to separate conductive parts.
It prevents electrical short circuits and helps maintain signal isolation.
Common insulating materials include PTFE, polyethylene, and ceramics.
These materials are essential in electrical and electronic components.
Insulating Materials in RF and Coaxial Systems
In RF and coaxial connectors, insulating materials are used to maintain proper spacing between the center conductor and outer conductor.
They play a critical role in determining impedance and signal transmission characteristics.
Key properties include dielectric constant, loss tangent, and temperature resistance.
Selecting the appropriate material is essential for high-frequency performance and stability.
