The care of RF connectors


 

I realize that everyone has their own more-or-less “witches brew” for dealing with RF connectors but this is a nice general treatment on them from a reputable source. https://blog.minicircuits.com/care-handling-of-rf-microwave-connectors/ Greg


 

HP Application Note AN 326 covers this, as well as several other HP documents.


 

so are you suggesting the freon or the isopropyl?alcohol here?

Aside from HP and Mini Circuits there are numerous other documents available from other sources talking about his subject.

I used to attend seminars at NBS (now NIST) when living in Boulder, Colorado Some of them touched on connector characteristics and care. I was surprised to learn about the limited number of mate/unmate cycles on some connectors before they degraded the signals passing through them.
