The 2.92 mm connector, often referred to as a K connector, is a type of coaxial RF connector designed for high-frequency applications. It belongs to the family of precision microwave connectors that also includes SMA and 3.5 mm connectors but is distinguished by its ability to operate at frequencies up to 40 GHz, making it ideal for millimeter-wave technologies.
Key Characteristics:
Impedance: 50 ohms, ensuring minimal signal reflection and maximum power transfer.
Frequency Range: DC to 40 GHz (some variants up to 46.5 GHz).
Coupling Mechanism: Threaded screw coupling for secure and reliable connections.
Construction: Stainless steel body with gold-plated beryllium copper center contacts.
Temperature Range: Typically from -65°C to +165°C, suitable for harsh environments.
Compatibility: Can mate with SMA, 3.5 mm, and other 2.92 mm connectors.
