1.0/2.3 mmWave Adapter — 110 GHz In-Line Barrel
The TE Connectivity 2081774-1 is a same-series 1.0/2.3 adapter that converts a 1.0 mm jack, female socket to a 1.0 mm plug, male pin — a straight in-line barrel for extending or reconfiguring mmWave test paths. The 50 Ohm impedance and 110 GHz frequency ceiling place this adapter squarely in high-end instrumentation, VNA calibration kits, and millimeter-wave research benches where the connector interface itself must not limit the measurement bandwidth. The stainless steel body handles the torque of the threaded fastening on both ends, and the gold-plated beryllium copper center contacts deliver the 500 mating cycles typical of a precision RF adapter that gets swapped between setups daily.
What the 110 GHz Rating Means for the Test Bench
The adapter maintains a controlled 50 Ohm impedance through the transition from jack to plug, with no resonance or mismatch that would corrupt a measurement at W-band frequencies.
Construction and Mating Life
Both ends use threaded fastening — no push-on or snap-on — so the adapter stays torqued to a repeatable spec when mated. The 500-cycle rating on the gold-over-beryllium copper contacts is realistic for a lab adapter that sees daily connects and disconnects; the stainless steel body resists the galling that plagues aluminum RF hardware after repeated thread engagement.
