San-tron has released a new pressurized connector series (pSeries), which provide low-loss, high-stability performance through 30 GHz at +/-65 psi. These pressurized connectors feature a simplified, three-piece design – body, center contact, and an innovative dielectric – which eliminates troublesome internal O-rings, gaskets, and silicone greases. They are available in a variety of different connector types, including 2.92 mm, 3.5 mm, SMA, TNC, and Type N series.
The pSeries pressurized connectors exhibit low-loss characteristics and meet MIL-STD 202 Method 212, Condition D (+125° C fluorocarbon leak), test conditions. Connector seal integrity exceeds 10-5 cm3/s when tested under 30 psi pressure of alcohol per STI 8.2.4-13. The proprietary insulator also offers five times more thermal stability than standard PTFE insulators found in other pressurized connectors. They also meet the IP68 standard.
Pressurized coaxial connectors are vital where high pressure is maintained for extended periods and in environments needing protection against moisture and other contaminates – such as agriculture, aviation, and marine applications. They have been already been specified on a number of programs, including 20 GHz ground-based satellite links, agricultural GPS systems, the London Underground, and space-borne systems (Source: Santron).
