1742320-1

The 1742320-1 by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors establishes new performance standards in Terminals - Magnetic Wire Connectors for test and measurement equipment. Precision-engineered with air dielectric technology, this connector maintains VSWR <1.05 up to 67GHz, making it indispensable for 5G NR device testing and millimeter-wave research.The 500 configuration features precision APC-7 interface compatibility with 0.1dB repeatability. When compared to conventional SMA connectors, this design demonstrates 10x better phase stability during thermal cycling.Featuring Box IDC technology, the contacts use beryllium copper with proprietary surface treatment that minimizes passive intermodulation (PIM). Testing shows <-170dBc PIM performance even after 5000 mating cycles.Optimized for Quick Connect in metrology applications, the connector features torque-limiting interfaces that prevent over-tightening. This design maintains NIST-traceable accuracy through 10,000 connection cycles.Compatible with 16-17.5 AWG semi-rigid cables, the connector supports both fundamental mode propagation and higher-order mode studies. The gas-tight interface prevents moisture ingress in environmental chambers.Incorporating QC .250 technology, these connectors provide integrated temperature compensation for critical path length applications. The non-magnetic variants are essential for quantum computing research environments.
