F Connector
The F connector is a particular type of radio frequency connector that was developed in the early 1950′s. Eric Winston is usually credited with the creation of the F connector, while developing cable television as an alternative to the broadcast television options of the day.
What does the F Connector do?
The F connector provides an inexpensive connection for coaxial cables to communications devices and to other cables. While the cost of an F connector is generally less than many other types of radio frequency cable connectors, the connection provided by the F connector is often stable. Because the F connector employs a center wire method of construction, the connector is slightly more subject to corrosion and damage than some other forms of radio frequency connectors. Still, adequate care and maintenance can allow an F connector to last for a number of years.
Sizes Available with F Connectors
The F connector allows for a solid 75 ohm impedance with a match of up to 1 GHz. This places the F connector squarely in the middle of the expected performance of most of the different types of radio frequency connectors on the market today. Female connectors typically have a 3/8-3 thread diameter, while male connectors are slightly smaller. Some of the newer versions of the F connector use a push and pull design, even though they generally considered to provide less shielding efficiency than the screw on varieties of the F connector.
How can an F Connector be Used?
F connectors have been around for a number of years, and have been a common component with broadcast television equipment. Along with broadcast television, the F connector is also often found in use with cable television equipment. The RF connected is used almost universally with satellite transmissions, especially satellite television.

- SMB Connector
Sometimes referred to as a sub-miniature connector, the SMB Connector is one member of the family of radio frequency (RF) connectors developed during the decade of the 1960′s. As is true of all RF connectors, the SMB connector is manufactured to work within a wide band of frequencies. What does the SMB Connector do? Designed [...]...
- SMA Connector
The SMA (SubMiniature Type A) connector is a type of the radio frequency connector developed in the 1960s to make it easier to connect coaxial cables. Using a screw-type design instead of the common ‘push-pull’ system, the SMA connector allows for a quick connection; and can be used in both alternating and direct current applications. [...]...
- 7/16 DIN Connector
The name “7/16 DIN connector” comes from the size of the inner and outer contacts in metric measurements. The inner contact on the 7/16 DIN connector measures 7mm while the outer contact on the connector measures 16 mm. Designed for communications systems, the 7/16 DIN connector can work with equipment with as much as 100 [...]...
- DVI HDTV Connector
DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface, it delivers uncompressed video signals from the device to HDTV, digital monitors and DLP projectors. DVI can be found on DVD players (both high definition and standard), computer video cards and many cable and satellite boxes. DVI is a fairly new connection standard being used and can deliver high [...]...
- MCX
MCX is a type of connector developed in the 1980′s and used in the microwave transmission range. It carries frequencies of up to 6 GHz and is the second smallest of the subminiature connector families. At approximately 30% smaller than Subminiature B connectors (measuring in at 0.140 inches on the outer diameter of the plug), [...]...
