Examples include mining, arid environment, oil and gas processing, industrial manufacturing, metal working, etc. The dangers these environments pose to workers and operators as well and the cost of running these facilities necessitates streamlined and reliable communications. This is why there are versions of coaxial cables, cable assemblies, connectors, and adapters, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasternack.com\/high-temp-2.92mm-male-to-2.4mm-female-adapter-40ghz-vswr1.25-mil-std-348b-pe1450-p.aspx\">high temperature 2.92mm Male to 2.4mm female adapter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasternack.com\/high-temperature-adapter-4-hole-flange-mount-2.4mm-female-to-2.4mm-female-adapter-50ghz-vswr1.3-mil-std-348b-pe91645-p.aspx\">high temperature 4-hole flange mount 2.4mm female to 2.4mm female adapter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key High Temperature Coaxial Connector Adapter Electric Specifications &amp; Performance Parameters<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u2022 Connector Type<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Connector Angle (straight or right angle)<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Impedance [Ohms]<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Frequency Range [Hz]<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Insertion Loss [dB]<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Operating Voltage (AC) [VAC]<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Dielectric Withstanding Voltage (AC) [VAC]<\/li>\n<li>vInsulation Resistance [Ohms]<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 RF Leakage [dB]<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Operating temperature range [degrees C]<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Coaxial cable compatibility (various RG types)<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Dielectric Type [often PTFE, Teflon, or PEI]<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Contact Attachment Type (crimp, clamp, solder, field replacement, or crimp\/solder)<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Connector Body Conductor Type (typically brass with plating)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>High temperature coaxial connector adapters are also known as extended operating temperature range coaxial connector adapters. As coaxial connectors and adapters are composed mostly of metallic conductors, the major temperature limitation is the dielectric material. Polyetherimide is a common dielectric for high temperature applications as it has an upper working temperature between 170\u00b0C and 200\u00b0C. There are some important design features associated with the conductors for high temperature coaxial components, as thermal expansion and contraction can lead to connection degradation and failure if improperly designed with thermal expansion in mind. Passivated stainless steel is commonly used for the body and coupling nut for high temperature coaxial connectors, while the contact material is often beryllium copper with gold over nickel plating. This configuration is also common for many coaxial connector applications.<\/p>\n<p>As high temperature coaxial components are often used in military and aerospace applications, they are often made to hold to certain military standards for operating temperature range and other environmental specifications. These include humidity, thermal shock, salt spray, vibration, shock, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are several applications and environments where it is critical to have functioning communications equipment for safety and operational purposes, but these environments expose communications equipment to extremes that are beyond the normal operating range for most common components, devices, and systems.
