The high-power handling capability of this connector type compared to N connectors or BNC connectors is due to the relatively wide 7 mm diameter inner conductor contact and 16 mm diameter out contact, hence 7\/16. The external thread for the 7\/16 DIN coaxial connector is 29 mm with a 1.4 mm pitch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7\/16 DIN Connector Variations<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasternack.com\/7-16-din-male-connectors-category.aspx\">7\/16 DIN Male Connectors<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasternack.com\/7-16-din-male-straight-connectors-category.aspx\">7\/16 DIN Male Straight Connectors<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasternack.com\/7-16-din-male-right-angle-connectors-category.aspx\">7\/16 DIN Male Right Angle Connectors<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasternack.com\/7-16-din-female-connectors-category.aspx\">7\/16 DIN Female Connectors<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasternack.com\/7-16-din-female-straight-connectors-category.aspx\">7\/16 DIN Female Straight Connectors<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Given the widespread use of 7\/16 DIN adapters, there are a range of variations available. Many of these variations are designed to accommodate different coaxial cable types, such as RG58, RG55, RG141, RG142, RG223, RG400, RG8, RG9, RG225, RG393, RG215, \u215e\u201d helical, \u215e\u201d annular, and many others. Other variations include the contact attachment method, mainly being either crimp non-solder, clamp, solder, field replacement, or crimp\/solder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key 7\/16 DIN Coaxial Connector Electric Specifications &amp; Performance Parameters<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connector Type [7\/16 DIN]<\/li>\n<li>Connector Angle (straight or right angle)<\/li>\n<li>Impedance [Ohms]<\/li>\n<li>Frequency Range [Hz, typically 3 GHz]<\/li>\n<li>Coaxial cable compatibility (various RG types)<\/li>\n<li>Dielectric Type [often PTFE]<\/li>\n<li>Contact Attachment Type (crimp, clamp, solder, field replacement, or crimp\/solder)<\/li>\n<li>Connector Body Conductor Type (typically brass with plating)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Female coaxial adapters are most often used as the interface ports for devices and systems. Hence, 7\/16 DIN female coaxial connectors are often available in 4-hole flange, bulkhead, 4-hole panel, and other mounting options. 7\/16 DIN female coaxial connectors are also usually only available in a straight connector style. However, 7\/16 DIN male coaxial connectors are typically available in a right-angle style to account for minimal clearance interconnect applications.<\/p>\n<p>7\/16 DIN coaxial connectors are most used in busy RF sites and installations where multiple transmitters are connected to the same antenna. Another common application for these coaxial connectors is where a base station antenna and other transmitting antennas are co-located and co-site interference and\/or intermodulation distortion could dramatically reduce the performance of the co-located systems. It is important to note that to yield the low PIM performance of 7\/16 DIN connectors, low PIM coaxial cable must also be employed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7\/16 DIN Connectors, or DIN 7\/16 connectors, are one of the most common coaxial connector types used for interconnect between cellular networking systems and cellular antennas. 7\/16 DIN connectors are 50 Ohm connectors with relatively high-power handling and exceptional passive intermodulation distortion performance.
