The **82-6098-RFX** is a high-performance RF (Radio Frequency) connector manufactured by **Amphenol RF**. It is specifically an N-Type Straight Jack (Female) designed for use with high-quality coaxial cables. --- ### ## Technical Specifications Below are the primary electrical and mechanical characteristics of the 82-6098-RFX: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Series** | N-Type | | **Gender** | Jack (Female) | | **Orientation** | Straight | | **Impedance** | 50 Ohm | | **Max Frequency** | 11 GHz | | **Termination Style** | Crimp / Solder | | **Body Material** | Brass | | **Body Plating** | White Bronze (Tri-Metal) | | **Contact Plating** | Gold | | **Dielectric** | PTFE (Teflon) | --- ### ## Key Electronic Components & Materials 1. **Outer Shell (Body):** Made of brass with **White Bronze** plating. This provides excellent corrosion resistance and lower intermodulation (PIM) compared to standard nickel plating. 2. **Center Contact:** Constructed from phosphor bronze or brass with **Gold plating**. Gold ensures low contact resistance and prevents oxidation over long periods. 3. **Dielectric Insulator:** Uses **PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)**. This material is critical for maintaining consistent 50-ohm impedance and minimizing signal loss (attenuation) at high frequencies. 4. **Gasket/Seal:** Often includes a silicone rubber O-ring to provide environmental sealing, making the connector weather-resistant (IP67 rated when mated). ### ## Applications The 82-6098-RFX is commonly used in professional environments requiring high power handling and durability: * **Wireless Infrastructure:** Base stations and cellular towers. * **Instrumentation:** Signal generators and network analyzers. * **Military/Aerospace:** Radar and secure communication systems. * **WLAN:** High-gain outdoor antenna installations. ### ## Recommended Cable Types This specific part is typically designed to fit larger, low-loss coaxial cables. Common compatible cables include: * **RG-8** * **RG-213** * **RG-393** * **LMR-400** (equivalent sizes) ---
