Product Overview

2.92mm RF Connector

The Aptiv Interconnect 2.92mm RF connector is a high-performance coaxial connector for microwave applications up to 40 GHz. This connector bridges the gap between SMA and millimeter-wave connectors, offering a robust air dielectric interface and a threaded coupling for excellent electrical performance and low reflections. A key advantage of our 2.92mm connector is its compatibility with 3.5mm and SMA connectors, allowing for use with a wide variety of existing equipment while providing an enhanced frequency range. It is widely used in test & measurement, telecommunications, satellite communication, and high-speed digital applications.
