Connectors are used on electrical wiring harnesses and are essentially enclosures (i.e., shells) which house contacts with wires. The electrical connection into the system at the contact termination is either a soldered or crimped connection (the latter removable from the connector with the use of a special tool). The shell and insert may be moisture resistant or a hermetic seal. The inserts in each connector must be oriented for correct mating, and the shell or insert usually contains a keying feature to prevent miss-mating that could damage the connector or result in an electrical problem. 

Connectors can be of a Plug (“male”) or Receptacle (“female”) type. Receptables are also termed as sockets or jacks. Plugs have prolonged connecting pins which fit into the mating sockets. Receptables have mounting features such as a flange with holes. Connectors used in aircraft are mostly those complying with Military Standards (MIL-STD) and Military Specifications (MIL-SPEC).

Different connectors, structured in series, are offered as part of our own branded (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines to provide cost-effective solutions for a variety of applications. Sourced by quality suppliers, they are available in plug or receptable types.

United States Military Standard RG58 Coaxial Cables are flexible and lightweight coaxial cable with a solid 20 American Wire Gauge (AWG) conductor, a 50-ohm characteristic impedance and maximum voltage rating of 1,900 volts. They feature a low-density polyethylene dielectric insulation with a dielectric constant of 2.3 and a diameter of 0.116 inches (2.9mm), a tinned copper braided shield and a PVC jacket. The outside diameter of the cable is 0.195' (4.95 mm), which makes it suitable for indoor and vehicular use where size matters. It is best for signal frequencies up to 1GHz, where its attenuation is 14.5 decibels per 100 feet. Above that frequency, attenuation increases, and at 5GHz it is approximately 60 dB/100 ft. RG58 coaxial cable supports 10Base2 Ethernet.

These cables come in different versions (types) corresponding to different conductors including RG58 (pure annealed copper conductor), RG58/U (single solid core copper conductor), RG58A/U (multi-core tinned copper conductor with generally low loss foamed insulation)  or RG58C/U (multi-strand tin-plated copper conductor and polyethylene solid core). RG58 A/U Coaxial Cables with PVC jacket are ones most used in WiFi, Wireless LAN, GSM, and Monitoring and Control of Network Infrastructure Sites. Also they are standard cables for avionics installations in experimental (non-certified) aircraft.

The mil-spec coaxial specification version of RG58 is the M17/28-RG58 Coaxial Cables. These cables are like their standard RG58 counterparts except that they feature a stranded tinned copper conductor and the outer conductor is a 36 AWG tinned copper braid.

RG58 Coaxial Cables are offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Sourced from quality manufacturers they priced and sold by the foot or meters (depending on the manufacturer). They can be furnished in standard or cut to order lengths.

Connectors compatible with RG58 coaxial cables are also offered and include BNC bayonet connectors, Low-Profile screwed TNC connectors and screwed FME connectors.

(*) The letter "U" means indicates that the conductor of the cable is copper while letters "A", "B", "C" are used when the conductor is aluminum thin.

HUBER+SUHNER RG400/U RF Flexible Coaxial Cables have an outer diameter of 4.95 mm, and a dielectric diameter of 2.95 mm. They are are double shielded and made from dielectric PTFE material and FEP sheath with a copper stranded wire silver-plated 1 mm diameter conductor. They feature an impedance of 50 ohms and a frequency range up to 6 GHz. Weight: 0.064 kg per meter. They are priced and sold in meters, in rolls of 100 meters each unless otherwise mentioned. For additional information please refer to the supplied documentation.

AMPHENOL Bayonet Neill Concelman (BNC) product series connectors are miniature quick connect RF connectors. They feature two bayonet lugs on the female connector. BNCs are ideally suited for termination on miniature and subminiature coaxial cable (RG-58, 59, to RG-179, RG-316, etc.). Other BNC series include:

HD-BNC product series featuring the trusted, push and turn interface of a traditional BNC and providing tactile feedback and a positive lock for quick and guaranteed mating and 

Mini-BNC product series allowing higher connector densities while preserving the positive characteristics of the full-size 75 Ω BNC. The Mini-BNC provides the same positive locking bayonet system found on the BNC but allows 40% more interconnects in the same area.
