The most extensive line of Microwave Adapters in the frequency range of DC to 70 GHz.
The 2021 Adapters Handbook offers the most comprehensive information regarding Coaxial Adapters (in Series and Between Series), Hermetically Sealed Adapters, High Power Adapters, Push-On Adapters, Waveguide to Coax Adapters, Multipin-/Multiport-Adapters and more in the frequency range of DC to 70 GHz. Our products are used in many commercial systems, including cellular applications, radios, SatCom/VSAT, satellites and space applications, test centers and wireless communication.
Coaxial Adapters (in Series and Between Series)
Spectrum Elektrotechnik manufactures a broad variety of in Series and Between Series Coaxial Adapters ranging from the most common interfaces such as 1.82 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.92 mm, 3.5 mm, 7 mm, 7/16, SMA, TNC, N, etc. to the customized interfaces which meet exactly our customers’ needs.
Hermetically Sealed Adapters
A wide range of hermetically sealed adapters to the hermeticity of 10-8 atm. cm³/s minimum is provided by Spectrum Elektrotechnik GmbH. The Adapters use fused in glass seals between center contact and outer conductor. This ensures complete hermeticity of the units. The adapters are normally used at vacuum chambers testing products that are used for outer space applications and the personnel staying outside the chamber at regular environment. Available connector styles are 1.85mm, 2.4mm, 2.92mm, N and TNC, other connector styles can be manufactured on request.
Push-On Adapters
The Push-On 'Connector Saver' was developed to eliminate the time consuming tightening, torquing and loosening of connectors during test. The Push-On end of the adapter slides directly onto any standard female of the same connector series, allowing quick connecting and disconnecting.
Advantages:
Waveguide to Coax Adapters
The Precision Waveguide to Coax Adapters are impedance matching a 50 Ohm coaxial transmission line to Rectangular or Double Ridge Waveguides. Spectrum's Precision Adapters offer excellent VSWR and low insertion loss over their respective full operating frequency bands. The adapters feature Top-Launched or End-Launched probes, they can be optimized for performance over customers specific frequency bands. A comprehensive range of precision stainless steel connectors are fitted as standard. For connector specifications, materials, surface treatment, environmental, etc., please refer to the appropriate section in this Handbook.
Multipin-/Multiport-Adapters
In various applications many coaxial microwave links have to be connected and disconnected. This means threading and unthreading, torquing and untorquing. Very dense packaging is not possible, as there is still room needed for manual threading and for the use of a torque wrench. Spectrum’s Multipin Connectors are available with four (4), seven (7), eight (8), ten (10), twelve (12) and twenty-three (23) coaxial inserts (terminating the coaxial cable assemblies) at the Multipin end, connecting all the coaxial cable assemblies at once and in seconds with no need of a torque wrench, no need for safety wires and using minimum space. One of the outstanding examples is our 4-Hole flanged Adapter to mate with 37 RF Cable Assemblies at both sides in the frequency range to 40.0 GHz, using size 16 contacts. Imagine that 2 x 37 cable assemblies can be connected within seconds – a foolproof connection which eliminates human errors.
