The power capacity of RF coaxial connectors is the important part of the standard how we evaluate the quality of rf coaxial connectors. How much do you know about the power capacity of the RF connector? Today, let us have a talk about this part.
The power capacity of RF coaxial connector is a complicated problem and affected by many factors:
VSWR: The reflection wave occupies the channel capacity space, resulting in the transmission power capacity reduction.
Insertion loss：Due to the existence of loss, there has difference BTW the input power and the output power.
Frequency：The change of transmission signal frequency leads to the change of the loss and the VSWR, which affects the transmission power capacity.
Pin size: The pin size is related to the connector's current capacity and affects the power directly.
Air pressure (altitude)：The higher the altitude, the lower the pressure, the smaller the power capacity.
Contact resistance：This causes the contact to heat up, make it difficult to transmit high power microwave signals.
Because of the above reasons are uncertain, so connector is generally not given power capacity value indicators, only in the load, attenuator and other technical indicators of microwave passive components can indicate the index.
