T TYPE N (M-F-F) ADAPTOR 3GHZ

This adapter has a T-shaped design with one N-type male connector and two N-type female connectors. It allows for the distribution of a signal from a single source (the male connector) to two separate outputs (the female connectors), or it can combine signals from two sources into one.

Specifications:

1. Frequency Range:
   • Up to 3 GHz: Effective up to 3 GHz, making it suitable for many RF and microwave applications. Ensure this range matches your system requirements.
2. Impedance:
   • 50 Ohms: Standard impedance for RF applications, which ensures proper signal matching and minimizes reflection.
3. Connector Types:
   • N Male: Features a center pin and threaded coupling mechanism. The male connector is used to connect to devices or cables with N-type female connectors.
   • N Female: Two female connectors with a center socket and threaded coupling mechanism, providing connections for the male pin.
4. Insertion Loss:
   • Typically ≤ 0.3 dB: Indicates how much signal power is lost as it passes through the adapter. Lower insertion loss is preferable for maintaining signal strength.
5. Return Loss:
   • Typically ≥ 15 dB: Reflects how well the adapter maintains impedance matching. Higher return loss values indicate better performance with less signal reflection.
6. VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio):
   • Typically ≤ 1.5: Shows how effectively the adapter maintains impedance and minimizes signal reflections. Lower VSWR values are better for signal integrity.
7. Construction Material:
   • Body: Usually made from durable materials such as brass or stainless steel.
   • Plating: Often gold or nickel-plated to ensure good conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
8. Temperature Range:
   • Typically -55°C to +165°C: Ensures reliable operation in a variety of environmental conditions.
9. Size and Weight:
   • Compact Design: Designed to be compact and lightweight, suitable for integration into RF systems with limited space.

Example Part Number:

• Manufacturer: RF component suppliers such as Amphenol, Pasternack, or similar companies provide T-type adapters.
• Part Number Example: Models like Pasternack PE4422 or similar may be available. Verify the exact part number and specifications with the supplier.

Applications:

• RF and Microwave Systems: Distributes or combines signals in various RF and microwave applications.
• Communication Equipment: Useful for splitting a single signal to two devices or combining signals from two sources.
• Test and Measurement: Common in RF testing setups where signal routing or distribution is needed.

Visual Inspection:

• Connector Compatibility: Ensure all connectors are properly matched and securely attached. Verify that the N-type male and female connectors are correctly aligned and threaded for a secure connection.

When selecting a T-Type N (Male-Female-Female) adapter, ensure that it meets your frequency, impedance, and performance requirements. Always refer to datasheets and specifications provided by the manufacturer to ensure compatibility and optimal performance for your specific application.
