| Flat Leakage | Flat leakage is the undesirable loss of a signal through an RF limiter under normal usage. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value. | ||
| Pulse Width | Pulse width is the time interval between the leading edge and the trailing edge of a pulse at a point where the amplitude is half of the peak value. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Recovery Time | Recovery time is the time required for normalization of the signal. | ||
| Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value. | ||
| Input VSWR | Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is a unitless ratio that ranges from one to infinity and expresses the amount of reflected energy at the input of the device. A value of one indicates that all of the energy passes through. Any other value indicates that a portion of the energy is deflected. | ||

| Package Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Surface Mount Technology (SMT) | Surface mount technology (SMT) adds components to a printed circuit board (PCB) by soldering component leads or terminals to the top surface of the board. SMT components have a flat surface that is soldered to a flat pad on the face of the PCB. Typically, the PCB pad is coated with a paste-like formulation of solder and flux. With careful placement, SMT components on solder paste remain in position until elevated temperatures, usually from an infrared oven, melt the paste and solder the component leads to the PCB pads. Industry-standard pick-and-place equipment can mount SMT components quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively. SMT is a widely used alternative to mounting processes that insert pins or terminals through holes and solder leads into place on the opposite side of the board. | ||
| Through Hole Technology (THT) | Through hole technology (THT) mounts components on a printed circuit board (PCB) by inserting component leads through holes in the board and then soldering the leads in place on the opposite side of the board. | ||
| Connectorized | Connectorized devices attach with coaxial or other types of connectors. | ||
| Waveguide Assembly | Waveguide assemblies are used in microwave waveguide systems. They consist of a hollow metallic conductor with a rectangular, elliptical, or circular cross-section. Some conductors contain solid or gaseous dielectric materials. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted packages. | ||

| RF Connector | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| BNC |
Bayonet Neil-Concelman (BNC) connectors were designed for military applications, but are used widely in video and RF applications to 2 GHz. BNC connectors have a slotted outer conductor and a plastic dielectric that causes increasing losses at higher frequencies. BNC connectors are usable above 4 GHz as long as the slots radiate signals; however, these devices may not be mechanically stable to 10 GHz. Both 50 and 75 BNC connectors are available. BNC connectors are also known as bayonet navy connectors or baby Neil connectors.

| MCX | Miniature coaxial (MCX) connectors provide broadband capability through 6 GHz and are used in applications where weight and physical space are limited. They provide good electrical performance and are used to address the rapid implementation of the U.S. digital cellular PCN infrastructure. MCX connectors are also used in global positioning systems (GPS) and wireless LAN (WLAN) applications. | ||
| Mini-UHF | Mini-UHF connectors are a miniature version of the original UHF connector. They feature a threaded coupling mechanism for reliable mating. Mini-UHF connectors are designed for use in cellular mobile telephone systems where size, weight and cost are critical. With crimp cable termination for low installation costs, these connectors provide excellent RF performance in applications through 2.5 GHz. | ||
| MMCX | Micro-miniature coaxial (MMCX) connectors are smaller than MCX connectors and feature a more robust interface for greater durability. They are ideal for high volume, wireless SMT or PCMCIA applications in cellular base stations, cellular phones and personal communicators. MMCX connectors are also used in global positioning systems and wireless LAN (WLAN) applications. | ||
| SMA | Subminiature-A (SMA) connectors are intended for use on semi-rigid cables in components. They directly interface the cable dielectric without air gaps. They are not intended for permanent connections. | ||
| SMB |
Subminiature-N (SMB) connectors are snap-mount connectors that are available either in 50 or 75 impedances. They are used for frequencies from DC to 4GHz.
| ||
| SMP | Subminiature P (SMP) connectors are rated to 40 GHz and, depending on detent type, can withstand from 100 to 1,000 interconnect cycles. | ||
| TNC | Threaded Neil-Concelman (TNC) connectors are similar in size to BNC connectors but feature a threaded coupling nut for applications that require performance to 11 GHz. TNC connectors are durable, reliable devices that are widely used in the cellular and mobile communication industry for equipment cabling and antenna interfaces. | ||
| Type F | Type F connectors have a screw-type coupling and frequency range up to 1.5 GHz. Applications include CATV, TV, and antennas. | ||
| Type N |
Type N connectors include an integrated gasket to protect against environmental ingress and create an air gap between the center and the outer conductor. They primarily have 50 impedance, but 75 versions for CATV, are available.
| ||
| UHF | Ultra high frequency (UHF) connectors are economical, all-purpose connectors designed with non-constant impedance for use in comparatively low voltage and low frequency applications such as citizens' band (CB) communications systems. UHF connectors are also used in public address systems, closed circuit television (CCTV), civil defense, landing systems, ground control apparatus, ship-to-shore communications, and mobile radio equipment hookups between antenna and transmitters or receivers. | ||
| 1.6 / 5.6 | 1.6 / 5.6 connectors are mechanically sturdy devices that feature a coupling mechanism. They are often used with equipment that requires resistance against environmental and mechanical stress. 1.6 / 5.6 connectors are also suitable for handling RF analog and digital signals in telecommunications systems. | ||
| 7-16 | The 7-16 series name is derived from the metric dimensions of the connector interface: 7mm outer diameter (OD) of inner contact and 16 mm inner diameter (ID) of outer contact. 7-16 connectors are designed for medium to high power communication systems. They provide exceptional performance in multichannel cellular systems where power levels approximate 100 W per channel. 7-16 connectors can accommodate both flexible and corrugated cables and are used in a variety of cellular base station and broadcast communication applications. | ||
