RF Connector for HD-EFI Interfaces
The 920-532J-53S: The snap-on fastening provides quick, tool-less mating in panel or board-edge installations. Rated to 10 GHz, this connector suits RF signal paths in test equipment, telecom infrastructure, and industrial wireless systems where the HD-EFI interface is specified.
Signal Path and Environmental Range
The 50 Ohm impedance defines the characteristic line impedance for the RF path, requiring matching cable and PCB trace impedance to minimize reflections. The 10 GHz upper frequency covers common wireless bands (L-band through X-band) with margin for harmonic content. Gold plating on the brass center contact supports 200 mating cycles — adequate for test-point or field-service reconnect duty without signal degradation.
Construction and Termination Details
The brass body with white bronze finish provides corrosion resistance and a consistent ground path. The extended insulation and smooth bore features (per the series description) reduce the risk of snagging during cable routing and simplify cleaning of the interface. Shield termination is via solder — the outer conductor of the cable or the PCB ground plane must be soldered to the body for proper EMI containment. The single-port configuration mates with the corresponding HD-EFI plug.
