RF Directional Coupler Offers hard to Find Interfaces

RF directional couplers are readily available with common interfaces such as N type female connectors. Aviel Electronics, a division of RF Industries, designs and manufactures RF directional couplers with uncommon interfaces such as the HN female shown in the photo. The HN coaxial interface is a high-voltage version of the N interface and is used in specialized applications. Other interfaces are available. Model number Z-344, shown in the picture, operates in a frequency range of 700 to 850 MHz with power handling capability of 40KW peak power (120W average power). Insertion loss is less than 0.2dB and VSWR is less than 1.1 for both the main and secondary lines. Forward coupling is 43 dB isolation. Reverse coupling is 33 dB isolation.

Aviel Electronics designs and manufactures custom RF connector and adapter solutions. Aviel Electronics is a division of RF Industries a leading supplier of connecting solutions provided through its operating divisions: RF Connectors, RF Cable Assembly, Aviel Electronics, RF Neulink, RadioMobile and OddCables.

Custom push-lock SMB Connectors Provide Positive Contact in High Vibration Environments

The SMB connector is a follow-on design to the SMA and features a smaller interface with a snap-on coupling. For high vibration environments, the 2 pound minimum disengagement force of the standard SMB design is not sufficient. Aviel Electronics has added a push-lock feature to the standard MIL-STD-348 snap-on coupling SMB design. That increases the disengagement force to a minimum of 5 pounds. A locking shell pushes over the mated interfaces, locking the interface while allowing full rotation of the mated pair. Pulling back the shell allows the interfaces to be disengaged. The mating pairs include a right angle plug with crimp attachment for RG-174U cable. The jack interface is designed for standard PC board and bulkhead mounting. Connectors are hermetically sealed and meet the IP68 immersion test. Pictured are standard and reverse polarity interface pairs. Typical SMB electrical performance applies, 0-4 Ghz low reflection frequency range and usable up to 10 Ghz. Shown is Gold plated machined brass body construction. (optional stainless steel bodies are also available)

Custom Blindmate Coaxial Connector/Adapter Mitigates Mechanical Misalignment

Blindmate connectors simplify RF signal interface between devices or units that may not be in linear alignment. Standard blindmate connectors are available from several manufactures, but some applications with diverse mechanical or electrical properties require a custom design.

Aviel Electronics, a division of RF Industries, offers custom blind mate connectors for specific applications. General design features include a non-threaded push-on connector interface for touch-less mating. One end of the pair provide a floating, spring mounted body that moves independent of the flange mount to ensure reliable electrical contact, even with some mechanical misalignment. The blindmate pair shown offer good electrical performance up to 4Ghz with bodies manufactured from stainless steel and female contacts from beryllium copper. Aviel can design and fabricate custom blind mate connectors up to 40Ghz using a variety of materials and mechanical mounting techniques.

Modified SMB Connectors Meet Needs of Military Customers

Aviel Electronics modifies standard industry connector designs to meet specific requirements. Recently, a military customer approached Aviel for connector help. They had a panel designed around a competitor’s SMB connector and they were experiencing a variety of problems out in the field. The first issue was that the SMB connectors would easily disengage when minimal axial force was applied to a mated pair. To solve this issue, Aviel engineers designed a custom locking mechanism for the SMB Plug that would work on standard SMB Jacks.

Moisture entering the connector through the interface was the next issue on the customer's list and Aviel presented a simple, but effective solution. The customer's application was subject to harsh climate and no ingress of water in harmful quantity was allowed when their enclosure was immersed in water up to one meter. Aviel modified the SMB Plug and added internal o-rings to achieve an IP67 rating.

Finally, Aviel Electronics had one more issue to solve for their customer and this solution was not in any physics books. Their customer’s concern was that technicians could accidentally mismatch the input and output cables under strenuous conditions and jeopardize a mission. Aviel offered a reverse polarity version of the connector with a visually distinguishable coupling mechanism. Mating the wrong pair was now not only unlikely, but also physically impossible.

Aviel Electronics' design and manufacturing capabilities allow for quick reaction to specific needs and short lead-times for prototype components. Aviel engineers have the education and experience to solve interconnect challenges.

Quick Disconnect Connectors with Lanyard Release Solve Varied Problems

Aviel Electronics’ Quick Disconnect Connectors with Lanyard Release disengage from each other when applying an axial force to the attached lanyard, but will not disengage when applying axial force to the coaxial cable. Our design ensures that the connectors will remain securely mated in their application until a quick disengagement is required and prevents unintentional disengagement from coaxial cable tension.

With the versatility of a slide-on connector and secure connection of a standard coupling nut connector, these Quick Disconnect Connectors with Lanyard Release offer the best solution for a variety of applications. Whether you need your connector to disengage during launch or you want to reduce the setup time of connecting and disconnecting your test equipment, our Quick Disconnect Connectors with Lanyard Release is the solution. Since we custom manufacture these connectors in our Las Vegas, Nevada factory, we offer them in various line sizes, materials and finishes.

The Quick Disconnect Connectors with Lanyard Release shown here have a performance rating compliant with MIL-PRF-39012 TNC connectors. The engagement force does not exceed 7 pounds and disengagement force is between.

WiFi and FCC Compliant Antenna Connectors

Aviel Electronics designs and manufactures “unique coupling connectors” for antenna connections that require compliance with Part 15.203 of the Federal Communications Commission regulations. The connectors range from totally custom to a specific application to a modified version of a standard connector interface to a “standard” reverse polarity interface. Flange mount, crimp and compression cable mounts can be used with uniquely interfaced connector pairs to preclude the possibility of erroneous component mismating. “Coded” pairs can also be fabricated to add further uniqueness within a family of connector components. Materials used in construction are stainless steel, brass or aluminum bodies, beryllium copper contacts with gold, silver or other popular platings available.

Hermetically Sealed Connectors

The Aviel Electronics Division of RF Industries will design and fabricate hermetically sealed connectors to handle your sealing requirements. Once the connector series and body configuration is established, the inner construction of the connector can be designed to supply the sealing required for your operating environment. Sealing can be accomplished by using O-rings, epoxy seals and glass-to-metal seals. Seals can easily withstand air pressures of 100 PSI+ of pressure and helium leak rates of <1 x 10 -8 cc/second of helium tracer gas. Applications can range from moisture resistance sealing, space applications, material detection systems, isolation of volatile materials, and altitude problems. Connectors can be supplied in configurations from small custom designs through SMA, TNC, N, SC and HN sizes, and in body configurations from bulkhead, screw-in, flange mount, and press-in designs.
