Design Fortifies Type N Receptacles

April 16, 2009

San-tron has introduced an UG-58 A/U Type N panel receptacle with single-piece body construction capable of reliable performance from DC to 11 GHz. The rugged connectors are manufactured with a custom machine as part of an automated process, for low cost but excellent electrical performance. The one-piece body construction results in smooth signal transfer at a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The panel receptacles are rated for operating voltages to 1000 V RMS and feature a maximum dielectric withstanding voltage of 2500 V RMS at sea level and 60 Hz power line frequency. The Type N panel receptacles are designed for a temperature range of -65C to +165C and meet interface standards in accordance with MIL-STD-348.
