Performance Specifications The application performance requirements may limit the connector choice. Criteria to consider: Voltage Rating, Dielectric Withstand Voltage, and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). Reviewing The Connector Choices Refer to the Connector Selector Guide on pages vi-vii for a quick overview of each product series Amphenol Corporation Tel: 800-627-7100 www.amphenolrf.com iv RF Connectors Amphenol® Overview Overview Specific Connector Information Each connector listed has a plating code / Plt.; insulation code / Ins.; and cable assembly instruction / CAI. Refer to page 232 for the code charts. Example: D1 = TFE or equivalent P1 = Nickel plated body, silver plated contact Cable Assembly Instructions Subminiature, Microminiature If you already know the connector P/N and are looking for the assembly instructions, refer to the Connector Assembly Index on pages 240-241. The appropriate CAI code number is listed opposite the connector part number. Design Considerations Typically, the shorter the cable assembly, the more critical the connector insertion loss becomes. Typically, the longer the cable assembly, the less critical the connector insertion loss becomes. Wireless Typically, the higher the frequency, the more critical the connector insertion loss becomes. Typically, the more critical the connector insertion loss, the more critical the matched impedance of the cable and the connector becomes. Intermodulation (IM) Intermodulation is a phenomena that occurs when two or more fundamental frequencies are present
