Amphenol RF
UHF
UHF Connector Series
Description
®
Invented in the 1930’s by an Amphenol Engineer named E. Clark Quackenbush,
UHF coaxial connectors are general purpose units developed for use in low frequency
systems from DC – 300 MHz. Invented for use in the radio industry, UHF is an acronym
for Ultra High Frequency. UHF connectors feature a threaded coupling. Because these
connectors are low-cost, the impedance is variable.
Amphenol’s commercial grade connector offering carries the part number
designation “RFX” for easy recognition. These low-cost connectors typically utilize
die cast and molded components. While performance will not be equal to the
industrial or military grade products, these connectors are ideal for use on a variety
of commercial applications.
Features/Benefits
• Optional reducing adapters accommodate a wide range of popular coaxial cables
• Solder termination types require no special assembly tools
• Crimp termination types provide a lower cost installation method
• Large-size threaded coupling is rugged design
• Non-demanding specifications and low cost
Applications
• Antennas
• Cable Assembly
• Low Frequency Applications
• Public Address Systems
• CB Radios
