Component Specifications

Definition
A precision electrical interface component designed for signal generators that provides reliable, low-noise connection points for outputting generated signals to measurement instruments, test equipment, or other electronic systems. It ensures impedance matching, signal integrity, and mechanical stability during signal transmission.
Working Principle
The output connector functions as an electromechanical interface that maintains consistent electrical characteristics (impedance, capacitance, inductance) while providing physical connection points. It transfers generated signals from the signal generator's internal circuitry to external cables with minimal signal degradation, reflection, or interference through proper shielding and contact design.
Materials
Gold-plated beryllium copper contacts, PTFE or polyethylene insulation, nickel-plated brass or stainless steel housing, silicone or rubber gaskets for environmental sealing.
Technical Parameters
  • VSWR <1.3:1
  • Impedance 50Ω or 75Ω
  • Durability >5000 mating cycles
  • Insertion Loss <0.1dB
  • Frequency Range DC to 18GHz
  • Operating Voltage 500V RMS max
  • Contact Resistance <10mΩ
  • Operating Temperature -55°C to +125°C
Standards
IEC 61169, MIL-PRF-39012, ISO 9001

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of connectors are commonly used for signal generator outputs?

BNC, SMA, N-type, and Type-N connectors are most common, with BNC being standard for frequencies up to 4GHz and SMA/SMP for higher frequency applications up to 18GHz.

How does connector impedance affect signal generator performance?

Impedance mismatch (typically 50Ω vs 75Ω) causes signal reflections, standing waves, and power loss, degrading signal accuracy and measurement reliability.

What maintenance do output connectors require?

Regular inspection for physical damage, cleaning contacts with isopropyl alcohol, checking torque specifications, and verifying impedance continuity to prevent signal degradation.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
