CBJE130 Edge Mount Circuit Board Jack

Trompeter offers a wide range of F connector products, including the edge-mount circuit board F connector CBJE130. The unique design of this connector features a centre pin in-line with the plane of the board for superior signal integrity. This side launch design approach also features a much lower profile than standard right-angle jacks, for reduced board space requirements. The CBJE130 was designed for applications such as broadcast and digital set top box products, and is part of Trompeter's high frequency PCB coax connector series.

PLR130SC 75 Ohm Right Angle Cable Connector

Trompeter has a three-piece high performance 90 degree F connector for high frequency applications. The right angle configuration accomodates situations where space constraints are a problem and allows for increased connector density in a given area. The new PLR130SC delivers excellent frequency response over an extended bandwith, and can be assembled to any standard coax cable using standard installation tools.

A straight version, the PL130SC is available.

PL130C One-Piece Cable Connector

On the left is a traditional legacy F connector and on the right is a Trompeter PL130C one-piece connector with patented Captivated Centre Contact.

The PL130C series is a one-piece F connector with captivated centre contact. It has been created with a high priority on electricals (higher frequency) and mechanicals (positive mating conditions and ease of installation). This connector is a new concept in Broadband F connector plugs designed with digital, high bandwidth performance requirements in mind.

The innovative patented design features an integrated centre contact pin, enabling excellent electrical characteristics and avoiding problems associated with using the centre wire of the cable itself as the centre contact. This pin is fully captivated in the dielectric and eliminates the possibility of misalignment during mating, a common problem associated with traditional F connectors.

Trompeter's PL130C series out-performs competing products products in this space with a return loss of <-22dB at 2 GHz and <36dB at 1 GHz.

Application Note

With conventional F connector designs that utilise the centre wire itself as the male mating contact, the variation caused by diverse wire diameters can contribute to bit errors in the signal transmission. With this design, Trompeter is providing the market with a high end connector to match the quality of electrical clarity and rugged performance demanded by digital applications. The design sets a new standard for the F connector in broadband applications.

AD1300 F to BNC Adaptor

New from Trompeter: F to BNC Adapter

The AD1300 adapter allows the conversion from low performance F connectors to high frequency BNC connectors. Where two-way cable and internet connectivity demand higher performace interconnections, the AD1300 allows economical upgrade from legacy F type connectors to the latest high performance BNC connectors.

An additional problem of the F design is that it uses a threaded coupling sleeve to ensure ground. In conditions of temperature fluctuations, threaded connectors can work loose due to differing co-efficients of thermal expansion, causing signal loss and/or interference. Utilising the AD1300 converts the F jack into a BNC jack at the device, providing a permanent, easy to install, performance and reliability upgrade.
