Right Angle Connector｜Glossary
This section is part of the Coaxial Connector Glossary for RF and coaxial systems.
What Is a Right Angle Connector?
A right angle connector is a type of connector in which the connection direction is bent at a 90-degree angle.
It is also commonly referred to as an L-shaped or right-angle connector.
This design allows cables or connections to change direction without requiring additional space.
Right angle connectors are used to optimize layout and routing in compact or space-constrained applications.
Right Angle Connectors in RF and Coaxial Systems
In RF and coaxial systems, right angle connectors are used to manage cable routing and reduce bending stress.
They are especially useful in tight spaces where straight connectors cannot be used effectively.
Proper design helps maintain signal integrity, although excessive bending or poor layout may affect performance.
Right angle connectors are commonly used in both cable assemblies and PCB-mounted applications.
