Intelliconnect USA, LLC the US based manufacturer of RF connectors continues to grow its range of standard Coaxial and Triaxial connectors. Using locally sourced components and manufactured at their Tennessee based factories, Intelliconnect are able to offer very attractive lead times, exceptional customer service and competitive pricing for high volume requirements.
The standard RF connector product range from Intelliconnect includes the general purpose design N Series medium size connector. The N Series features a gasket for weatherproof operations. They operate up to 12GHz and can withstand rugged environmental conditions. This series can accommodate various coaxial cables, PCB, flange and bulkhead configurations.
The SMA Series miniature connector family is designed to be compatible with the small semi-rigid cables that have very low VSWR at high frequencies. In addition, other connectors in the series can accommodate flexible coaxial cable, PCB, flange, surface, edge and bulkhead configurations.
The medium size TNC Series are lightweight connectors with a weatherproof screw locking mechanism and may be used with small and medium size cables. The TNC series also accommodates various PCB, flange and bulkhead configurations and are generally used in applications up to 12 GHz.
The BMA series miniature connector series is designed to be compatible with the small semi-rigid cables that have very low VSWR up to 22 GHz. In addition, other connectors in the series can accommodate flexible coaxial cable, PCB, flange, surface and bulkhead configurations. These connectors are ideal for use in rack and panel applications and MIL versions are available.
Another miniature connector series is the SMB, this miniature connector series is designed to be compatible with the small semi-rigid and flexible cables such as RG316, RG174 and RG196. In addition, other connectors in the series can accommodate PCB, surface, edge and bulkhead configurations. This series is designed with a snap on mechanism. They are mated and unmated by a straight pull which makes them useful in areas that are inaccessible to normal mating action. The plugs have female contacts while the jacks have male contacts.
For the cellular telephone, information systems and communications markets the micro miniature size MCX connector series is an excellent design where weight and space are at a premium. This connector series has a quick snap-on locking mechanism. The MCX series is used with small, semi-rigid and flexible cables. These connectors can also accommodate various PCB, bulkhead, surface, edge, and press fit mount configurations.
Another standard coaxial range is the C Series general purpose medium size connector range that has a weatherproof bayonet locking mechanism. The C Series compliments the N-Type series by offering the same size fitting for the same cable groups. They are generally used in applications up to 11GHz.
The final two standard product ranges available from Intelliconnect are Triaxial connectors designed primarily to reduce noise levels in systems along with providing an isolated ground. Both products are non-constant impedance and feature a state of the art clamping construction and weatherproof sealing features which ensures excellent termination to various twinaxial and triaxial cables. The TRB Series has the appearance of a BNC connector but incorporates a third conductor. The TRT Series has a thread coupling mechanism as designed on the TNC Series and has the appearance of a TNC but incorporates a third conductor.

About Intelliconnect (Europe) Ltd:
Formed in the UK in 2003 in response to the almost complete abandonment of the UK by the RF connector manufacturing industry, Intelliconnect joined forces with a small innovative US operation in 2004 and has quickly become a market leader in design led manufacturing of RF connectors, waterproof multi-pin connectors and cable assemblies. Both the UK and USA divisions of Intelliconnect now enjoy a growing reputation for high quality products and first class service. Their product range includes waterproof connectors which have become established as the solution of choice for specifiers in the marine, oil and gas, defence and general antenna markets. They produce a range of triaxial components which are recognised as the best quality available in the market today. Their Custom design service, which attracts no NRE charges, is the quickest available in the market today. Intelliconnect also offer a full range of standard RF connectors and a cable assembly service.
Intelliconnect is unable and does not wish to compete with the plethora of low-cost offshore product available in the market today. Rather they offer traditional engineering values coupled with innovation, agility and a passion for serving their customers.
