The part number **031-10-RFX** refers to a high-quality **BNC Straight Jack (Female)** connector manufactured by **Amphenol RF**. It is designed for coaxial cable terminations, primarily used in radio frequency (RF) applications. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core electrical and mechanical characteristics of the 031-10-RFX: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | BNC Jack (Female) | | **Body Style** | Straight | | **Impedance** | 50 Ohm | | **Frequency (Max)** | 11 GHz | | **Termination Type** | Solder Cup | | **Mounting Type** | Panel Mount (Bulkhead) | | **Dielectric Material** | PTFE (Teflon) | | **Contact Plating** | Gold | | **Body Plating** | Nickel | --- ### 2. Key Components and Materials * **Body:** Usually constructed from Brass with **Nickel plating** for durability and corrosion resistance. * **Contact Pin:** Made of Phosphor Bronze or Beryllium Copper with **Gold plating** to ensure excellent conductivity and minimize signal loss. * **Insulator:** Uses **PTFE (Teflon)**, which provides high thermal stability and a low dielectric constant for high-frequency performance. * **Fastening:** This is a bulkhead-style connector, meaning it includes a hex nut and lock washer to secure it through a hole in a chassis or panel. --- ### 3. Common Applications Due to its 50-ohm impedance and BNC quick-connect/disconnect mechanism, this part is commonly found in: 1. **Test and Measurement:** Oscilloscopes, signal generators, and spectrum analyzers. 2. **Medical Equipment:** Monitoring devices that require shielded signal transmission. 3. **Telecommunications:** Base station equipment and RF routing. 4. **Military/Aerospace:** Communication systems requiring rugged, reliable connections. --- ### 4. Mounting Information The "RFX" suffix typically denotes Amphenol's commercial-grade line, providing a cost-effective solution without sacrificing significant electrical performance. To install the 031-10-RFX, a **D-shaped** or round hole is usually required in the enclosure panel to prevent the connector from rotating when the nut is tightened.
