- Connector Type:
- SMZ U Link 3-Port: A three-port connector designed for RF applications, featuring a combination of male and female connectors in a specific configuration.
- Pin Configuration:
- Ports: Typically includes one male port and two female ports or one female port and two male ports, depending on the design. The exact configuration can vary based on the model.
- Material:
- Body: Usually constructed from durable metals such as brass or stainless steel, often plated with nickel or gold to enhance conductivity and resist corrosion.
- Contacts: Internal contacts are made from high-conductivity materials and are often plated to reduce signal loss.
- Cable Compatibility:
- Connector Series: Designed to work with cables that match the SMZ series specifications. Compatibility may include various RF coaxial cables depending on the impedance and application requirements.
- Impedance:
- 50 Ohms or 75 Ohms: The connector can be designed for either 50-ohm or 75-ohm impedance, depending on the application. 50-ohm is common for RF applications, while 75-ohm is often used for video applications.
- Frequency Range:
- High Frequency: Suitable for high-frequency applications, typically effective up to several GHz, depending on the design and application.
- Installation:
- Mounting and Connections: Typically involves connecting the ports to cables or devices using appropriate connectors. Installation may vary based on whether the connector is mounted on a panel or used in-line.
- Applications:
- Signal Splitting/Combining: Used for splitting or combining RF signals in communication systems, allowing multiple devices to connect through a single interface.
- Communication Systems: Ideal for RF communication systems where signal routing and distribution are required.
- Broadcasting: Used in broadcasting setups for distributing signals to multiple devices or antennas.
Advantages
- Versatile Connection: The three-port design allows for versatile signal distribution or combining, making it useful in complex RF setups.
- Compact Design: The SMZ series offers a compact design that is beneficial in applications with limited space.
- Durable Construction: Built from high-quality materials to withstand mechanical stress and environmental conditions.
- High-Frequency Performance: Designed to maintain signal integrity and performance across high-frequency ranges.
