  • the last-mentioned 7-16 (DIN) connectors represent robust RF connectors, which are generally used up to 7.5 GHz, for example. They are mainly used for larger HF power when the mechanical connection is also exposed to environmental influences. Therefore, such connectors are mainly used in the antenna technology and in particular in mobile systems such as base stations.
