196809-01

Optimized for aerospace satellite payloads, NI's 196809-01 Between Series Adapters delivers radiation-hardened performance in LEO environments. This space-qualified adapter maintains signal integrity despite 100krad TID exposure, making it ideal for next-generation constellation networks.The Terminal Blocks, Screw Connection interface features gold-plated kovar contacts that withstand 2000 thermal cycles from -65 C to +150 C. The hermetic glass seal maintains 10^-9 atm-cc/sec helium leak rate in vacuum conditions.When configured for Modular, Female Jack, 10p10c (RJ50) operation, the adapter's phase-stable design introduces less than 0.5 phase variation across the Ku band. The monofilament strain relief prevents microphonic effects in vibration environments.Available in Black options, the housing uses ceramic-filled PEEK material with outgassing properties compliant with NASA STD-6012. The atomic oxygen-resistant coating prevents degradation in LEO environments.
