4.3/10 Coaxial Connectors and Adapters

Amphenol RF offers a full line of 4.3/10 adapters as an addition to the low-PIM adapter product family. This low-PIM interface is ideal for space-restricted, high-density, and weight-sensitive applications. This highly-stable connector series nearly eliminates PIM concerns, even with reduced mating torque requirements versus 7/16 DIN products. In-series and between-series configurations are available.

4.3/10 connectors offer the same robust design as 7/16 connectors but are smaller and up to 40% lighter, allowing for much more dense, lighter weight applications. These designs are IP-67 compliant to protect against dust and water ingress for outdoor applications and provide excellent VSWR performance up to 6.0 GHz. Separate electrical and mechanical components yield very stable PIM performance regardless of coupling torque, allowing for easier installation. Silver-plated contacts and white bronze plated bodies offer a high degree of conductivity, corrosion resistance, and durability.
