Three types of RF connector components
1,semi-rigid category, not easy to bend and excellent temperature performance
High quality cable component manufacturers introduce this type of rf connector because of its unique performance of not bending, the probability of RF leakage during the actual operation is very small, better protection from signal interference. However, if the rf connector needs to be bent, it should be assisted by a special shaper or hand grinder. The semi-rigid rf connector is made of solid Teflon material, so the integrated component has excellent temperature performance and can be used in microwave applications.
2,Semi-flexible category, as a substitute for semi-rigid category
This semi-flexible rf connector comes into being in many situations where it is necessary to use a flexible rf connector. The semi-flexible rf connector has the advantage of manual bending over the semi-rigid component, thus greatly improving the convenience of use. However, the semi-flexible rf connector component is not as stable as the semi-rigid component. It is easy to form and easy to deform.
3,flexible category, excellent performance but high cost
Flexible rf connector components manufacturers say that flexible RF Connector components, as a kind of test cable, should be designed to ensure that the bending is not deformed and performance should be taken into account, so the overall cost is high. If you do not have special requirements and want to save the overall cost, you can choose the above two categories.
These are the three types of rf connector components. Different types of cables should be used in different situations, and the cost should also be taken into account. A flexible rf connector can be used if the requirements are more stringent, but a semi-rigid or semi-flexible rf connector is sufficient for common requirements.
