GT21 series antenna connectors adopt one-step crimping terminal design, which also reduces assembly time and cost. The crimp end design also allows the cable assembly to be completed without touching the center conductor, providing precise center conductor positioning and consistent operation. So Hirose has reduced the size of its 2.5ghz hf antenna connector to significantly save space on car antenna systems.
The antenna connector family uses a highly reliable locking mechanism to cope with shocks and vibrations common in automotive applications. The locking strength is 98N and the lock produces a clear tactile click when fitted correctly. Locking the confirmation window further prevents incomplete pairings.
Antenna connectors support single coaxial, two - port, three - port and four - port cable terminals. The single-coaxial version offers four color-coded keying options. The rugged connector is available in three terminal versions, including a PIN-through hole version, an SMT version, and a straight-in version.
Mark Kojak, vice president of sales and marketing at Hirose Electric USA, said: "The GT21 outperforms the industry-standard FAKRA connector in high frequency characteristics and not only provides superior performance, but also saves up to 37% of space compared to the competition. .” “The GT21 series also reduces assembly time and total cost of ownership.”
The operating temperature of the antenna connector ranges from -40 ° C to +105 ° C. Series are suitable for shock and vibration, sulfur dioxide, high humidity and thermal shock.
