General Specifications
   RF Connector Type       
   Your choices are...         
   BMA       BMA connectors feature a push-on interface and a threadless outer ground connection. They can withstand both radial and axial misalignment. 
   BMMA       BMMA connectors are miniature BMA connectors. 
   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-ohm and 75-ohm BNC connectors are available. BNC connectors are also known as bayonet navy connectors or baby Neil connectors. 
   Type C       Type C connectors are medium-size, weatherproof devices with a two-stud bayonet coupling. They provide constant 50-ohm impedance and may be used with 75-ohm cable below 300 MHz. 
   Type F       Type F connectors have a screw-type coupling and frequency range up to 1.5 GHz. Applications include CATV, TV, and antennas. 
   FME       FME connectors are used in mobile antenna applications. With adapters, they can also be used in place of UHF, Mini-UHF, TNC, BNC, and Type N connectors. 
   Type G       Type G connectors are 75-ohm impedance devices with snap-on coupling. They are well-suited for CATV applications. 
   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. 
   MHV       MHV connectors are compact, high-voltage devices with 50-ohm impedance and a two-stud bayonet coupling. MHV connectors are similar in size to, but not interchangeable with, BNC connectors. 
   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. 
   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-ohm impedance, but 75-ohm versions for CATV, are available. 
   QMA       QMA connectors are quick-disconnecting devices that have the same internal construction as SMA connectors.
