2.4mm Female to 2.4mm Female Adapter

Description

 The 2.4mm interface is specifically engineered to provide mode-free performance at frequencies where SMA and 2.92mm connectors begin to exhibit signal degradation. This female-to-female adapter is frequently used as a connector saver, protecting the integrated ports of expensive high-frequency test equipment like Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) from the wear of repeated mating cycles.

Constructed from passivated stainless steel with gold-plated beryllium copper center contacts, these couplers offer superior mechanical strength and reliable conductivity. They are available in various specialized configurations, including 4-hole flange for panel mounting, bulkhead for enclosure pass-throughs, and hermetically sealed versions for vacuum or high-pressure applications.

Key Technical Advantages

• Extended Frequency Range: Supports consistent, mode-free performance from DC up to 50 GHz.

• Superior Durability: Passivated stainless steel bodies provide a high mating cycle life (typically ≥ 500), essential for high-traffic labs.

• Low Signal Distortion: Precision air-dielectric design ensures a VSWR typically ≤ 1.25:1, minimizing signal reflections.

• Intermateability: Mechanically compatible with 1.85mm (V-connector) interfaces, offering flexibility in high-end RF setups.

• Environmental Resilience: Standard operating temperature ranges typically span -55°C to +165°C.

Key Features

• Adapter Type: Straight / In-Series Coupler (Jack-to-Jack).

• Interface: 2x 2.4mm Female (Jack).

• Impedance: 50 Ohm.

• Frequency Range: DC to 50 GHz.

• Material: Passivated Stainless Steel with Gold-Plated Contacts.

• Common Applications: 5G Infrastructure, Aerospace Test Systems, and Metrology.
