Connector / Contacts




   Connector Type       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   BMA / BMMA
 
     BMA connectors feature a push-on interface and a thread less outer ground connection. They can withstand both radial and axial misalignment. BMMA connectors are miniature BMA connectors.
 
   BNC
 
     Bayonet Neil-Councilman (BNC) connectors were designed for military applications, but are used widely in video and RF applications to 2 GHz. BNC connectors have a slotted outer conductor and a plastic dielectric that causes increasing losses at higher frequencies. BNC connectors are usable above 4 GHz as long as the slots radiate signals; however, these devices may not be mechanically stable to 10 GHz. Both 50Omega: Ohms  and 75Omega: Ohms BNC connectors are available. BNC connectors are also known as bayonet navy connectors or baby Neil connectors.
 
   Type C
 
     Type C connectors are medium-size, weatherproof devices with a two-stud bayonet coupling. They provide constant 50Omega: Ohms impedance and may be used with 75Omega: Ohms cable below 300 MHz.
 
   Centronics Connector
 
     Centronics connectors are standard parallel interface devices for connecting printers and other peripherals such as portable disc drives, tape backup drives, and CD-ROM players to computers. Centronics connectors, which are also known as blade connectors, are the standard connector for the Hewlett-Packard interface bus (HPIB). They are generally available in 50 and 68 pin varieties.     
 
   D-Sub
 
     D-Subminiature (D-sub) connectors have a mating face that is shaped like the letter "D". This shape provides polarization since D-shaped male and female connectors fit together in only one way.
 
   DIN Connectors
 
     DIN connectors are high frequency, multi-pin, electrical connectors that meet standards established by Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), a German national organization for standardization. The ends of DIN connectors are round, notched, and protected by a metal skirt to ensure that pins line up correctly. Both male and female DIN connectors are available. Male connectors plug into receptacles, jacks, and outlets and contain three to fourteen pins ranging in size from approximately 5/8” to just under 1” in diameter. Female connectors contain sockets for pins from other devices. The number of pins or sockets in a DIN connector corresponds to the number of wires in the coaxial cable. Often, DIN cables are referred to numerically so that, for example, a four-wire DIN cable is called a “DIN 4”. 
 
   DVI

Headers are common inside personal computers connecting disk drives, CD drives, and the serial and parallel ports to the motherboard. Box headers have an enclosure around the contacts.
 
   Pin Header
 
     Header constitutes the base or mounting plate of an electronic package to which chips and leads are attached.  A broad category of connector types.

They are ideal for high volume, wireless SMT or PCMCIA applications in cellular base stations, cellular phones and personal communicators. MMCX connectors are also used in global positioning systems and wireless LAN (WLAN) applications.
 
   Type N
 
     Type N connectors include an integrated gasket to protect against environmental ingress and create an air gap between the center and the outer conductor. They primarily have 50Omega: Ohms impedance, but 75Omega: Ohms versions for CATV, are available.
