It is very important to remember that the only max cable length of any twinax run is 5000'.
  • To extend beyond that length you must have a repeater.

Description

  • Twinax connectors are used with 78
    and 95 ohm conductor cables and operates from
    0-200 MHz.
  • Due to the improved shielding characteristic (>30dB),
    these connectors are used in balanced low level and
    high sensitivity circuits.
  • Meets applicable sections of MIL-C-3655
  • Twinax connectors feature keyway polarization to
    ensure system integrity and prevent signals from being mixed. Ideal for computer network applications.

Features/Benefits

  • Polarized key and keyway construction guarantees
    correct dual contact mate.
  • Twinax center pins can be crimped or soldered
    to provide dual signals from one connector.
  • Large threaded connectors designed for rugged
    use.
  • Crimp contacts ensures lower cost of installation.
  • Clamp assembly allows quick assembly without
    requiring special tools.
  • 2 Stud bayonet design allows quick and easy
    coupling.

Application

  • Cable Assemblies
  • Components
  • Mil-Aerospace
  • Computer Networks/LAN
  • Process Equipment

ELECTRICAL

  • Impedance Used with 78 ohm and
    95 ohm twin conductor
    cables.
  • Frequency range Keyway polarization:
    0-200 MHz, 0-500 MHz
    with caution.
  • Voltage rating Keyway polarization:
    500 volts peak.

MECHANICAL

  • Mating Keyway polarization:
    3/4-20 threaded
    coupling keyed 90°
    Cable affixment Braid clamp, "V" groove
    gasket and clamp nut
    mechanism.
  • MATERIAL
    Contacts Male: brass
    Female: beryllium
    copper.
    Silver plated or gold plated.
    Other metal parts Brass:
    Nickel finish
    Insulators Copolymer of
    styrene, Noryl, or
    polyester, as listed.
    Clamp gaskets Silicone rubber or
    synthetic rubber

ENVIRONMENTAL

  • Temperature range Copolymer of Styrene:
    - 55°C to +85°C
  • Noryl:
    - 45°C to +121°C
  • Weatherproof All Twinax Contact
    connectors are weatherproof when mated.
  • NOTE: These characteristics are typical and may not
    apply to all connectors.

MILITARY SPECIFICATIONS

  • Amphenol twinaxial connectors, polarized key
    and keyway construction, meet applicable
    sections of MIL-C-3655.
