  • Connectors in general are used to disconnect or connect electrical lines in order to transmit current and / or, above all, electrical signals. These may be multiple or single plugs.
  • coaxial connectors which comprise an inner conductor and an outer conductor and usually an outer conductor shield, wherein the inner conductor with respect to the outer conductor is usually electrically-galvanically separated using a dielectric.
  • a dielectric in the form of a solid, a cable insulation can be used as a holder for the centering of the inner conductor.
  • the so-called BC connectors are known, the F connectors (for example for high-frequency transmission up to 5 GHz), SMA connectors (for frequency ranges from 1 to 18 GHz), UHF connectors and, for example, also 7-16 ( DIN) connectors according to the IEC standard EN 60 169-4.
  • 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.
  • connectors can be formed with both a pin contact and a socket contact.
  • a pin contact male contact
  • a connector with female contact female contact
  • a connector with female contact female contact
  • a connector with male contact female contact
  • a connector with male contact male contact
  • a connector with female contact female contact

  • a connector with male contact male contact
  • a connector with female contact female contact
  • a connector with male contact is a contact in which the electrical contact is made on the inner surface of the contact part.
  • a plug is a connector which has the movable part of the locking mechanism.
  • the coupler is the counterpart to the plug, which is sometimes referred to as "socket”.

  • Capacitive couplings are usually not possible due to the compact design of connectors, since the space required is not sufficient. In addition, capacitive couplings often have too low a high frequency bandwidth and do not allow DC and / or data transmission.
