Small, flexible, powerful – new 4.3-10 connector series from Telegärtner

(Steinenbronn) With three connection techniques for one socket, the electrical com­pany Telegärtner Karl Gärtner GmbH presents highly flexible and user-friendly products of the new 4.3-10 connector series. With 48 % less space requirement and a saving on weight of more than 50 %, the com­pact new develop­ments enable much better packing densities. Nevertheless, the performance features are excellent.

“Now four instead of three connectors can be accommodated in the same area without users having to fear limitations for the transmission properties – on the contrary,” Björn Jacoby, Coax Manager at Telegärtner Karl Gärtner GmbH assures us. The electrical performance of the new 4.3-10 connector for instance – unlike the pre­decessor technology 7-16 – is independent of the coup­ling torque. Up to 500 Watt can be transmitted at 2 GHz. A reliable seal concept for the interface allows outdoor applications.

Versatile connection technique

A highlight is the versatile connection tech­nology. ‘Screw’, ‘Handscrew’ and ‘Push-Pull’ are three variants of the plugs. An open-ended wrench-based hexagon head screw, an easy-grip, riffled, round union nut or the push-pull ring all en­able a reliable connection. Whilst the Screw type with a recommended tightening torque of 5 Nm can be used for extreme ambient outdoor conditions, the manufacturer recommends the Handscrew type which can be screwed manually without tools also for indoor applications.   A special loosening lock prevents unwanted loosening of the coupling nut. The also toolless, self­locking push-pull type is the fastest con­nection variant for indoor and outdoor applications.

Regardless of which connector type you choose, there is just one socket which fits all. This simplifies the combination requirement and makes warehouse logistics easier. A secure and powerful connection is achieved with all three connector versions. This flexi­bility enables users to always find exactly the right product for their very special application according to space requirements, connection preferences or application site.

4.3-10 connector series is being standardised

The new, compact and installation-friendly 4.3-10 connector series was developed by Telegärtner in co-operation with three other manufacturers for the growing demands of mobile radio applications. Their small size and low weight make the connectors ideal for the miniaturisation of mobile radio network elements. However, they still achieve excellent return loss and passive intermodulation (PIM) values. The technology has very good chances to be standardised by DKE and IEC and to become the future market standard for mobile radio applications.
