Hi Rainer

?

In the past I have looked at Aeroflex Planar Crown but cannot remember how good they are compared to a? APC 3.5? or a? 2.92 connector??

Do you have any practical experience in using them? also approximate cost? of bulkhead and adapters each side to? APC 3.5

?

Regards Paul

Hi Gedas,

N connectors will work above 20GHz but are not reliable. I use my 8563A with N connector also up to 26.5GHz.
But I recently changed the N connector on my 5350B to Aeroflex Planar Crown. So I can have N / SMA / APC3.5 or even APC2.92
on the input. HP has N connectors on the 5350B, APC3.5 on 5351B and APC2.4 on 5352B.

73, Rainer

I am evaluating an Agilent E4408B SA for a friend which goes to 26.5 GHz. The RF input connector is a female N-connector.

Are there some N-connectors that will operate that high or is the connector Agilent using on this TE (and others) a compromise above 18GHz-20 GHz?

Hi,

that's what you are looking for. The N connector is good to 20GHz.? The APC3.5 is needed for up to 26.5GHz.

Jim,
Could you provide? a close-up photo of the damaged connector?

The high-frequency input connector on an HP 5351B I just purchased appears to be missing the input connector. I believe it was an APC-3.5. There appears to be a missing insert. I'm looking for tips on how to repair or replace this connector. For my purpose a type N connector would be acceptable as a replacement. I have the service manual. It looks like there is a cable assembly. One part number for the APC-3.5 and one for the type N.

Thanks, Jim
