“San-tron’s new pSeries pressurized connector design expands the typical operating frequency ranges through 30 GHz, while eliminating failure-prone internal O-rings,” noted San-tron Director of Engineering Fred Hull.  “These RF-enhanced connectors have been specified on a number of programs, including 20 GHz ground-based satellite links, agricultural GPS systems, the London Underground, and space-borne systems.”

Pressurized coaxial connectors are vital where high pressure is maintained for extended periods and in environments needing protection against moisture and other contaminates – such as agriculture, aviation, and marine applications. San-tron’s pSeries pressurized connectors exhibit low-loss characteristics and meet MIL-STD 202 Method 212, Condition D (+125° C fluorocarbon leak), test conditions. Connector seal integrity exceeds 10-5 cm3/s when tested under 30 psi pressure of alcohol per STI 8.2.4-13. The proprietary insulator also offers five times more thermal stability than standard PTFE insulators found in other pressurized connectors.

San-tron pSeries pressurized connectors are available in a variety of different connector types, including 2.92 mm, 3.5 mm, SMA, TNC, and Type N series.
