RF connectors are critical components in maintaining signal integrity across wireless systems, from telecommunications to aerospace. At Petra Carbon, we design and supply industry-leading RF connectors that deliver low insertion loss, durability, and compatibility with global standards. In this guide, learn how RF connectors work, their applications, and why Petra Carbon is your go-to partner for RF connectivity solutions.
What Are RF Products?
An RF connector is a specialized interface used to terminate coaxial cables, enabling secure connections between devices while minimizing signal loss. Key types include:
- SMA Connectors: Compact, threaded connectors ideal for high-frequency applications up to 18 GHz.
- N-Type Connectors: Rugged, weatherproof designs for industrial and military use.
- BNC Connectors: Bayonet-style connectors for quick connections in test equipment.

Applications of RF Connectors
- 5G Networks: Ensure low-loss signal transmission in base stations and antennas.
- Aerospace & Defense: Withstand vibrations and extreme temperatures in avionics systems.
- Medical Devices: Maintain precision in MRI machines and diagnostic equipment.
Pair RF connectors with our high-performance coaxial cables for end-to-end signal integrity.
Why Petra Carbon’s RF Connectors Stand Out
- Broad Compatibility: Compatible with Keysight, Teradyne, and other major testing systems.
- Custom Configurations: Available in various impedance values (50Ω or 75Ω) and plating options (gold, silver).
Rigorous Testing: Validated using in-circuit test systems for consistent performance.
FAQs About RF Connectors
How do I choose between SMA and N-type connectors?
SMA suits high-frequency, low-power applications, while N-type is better for rugged, high-power environments.
Can RF connectors be reused?
Yes, but repeated mating/unmating may wear plating. Use flange alignment tools for precise installation to extend lifespan.
Do you offer custom RF connector solutions?
Absolutely! We provide tailored connectors for unique applications, including hydraulic system integrations.
At PetraCarbon, we engineer RF connectors to meet the toughest industry demands. Whether you’re upgrading telecom infrastructure or designing aerospace systems, our team ensures seamless connectivity.
