Quadrax Terminators
Amphenol offers a terminator assembly which is a
low reactance, resistive impedance match to the
characteristic impedance of a transmission line It
is used to terminate the far ends of a transmission
line or an open tap so that the energy from signals
traveling down the transmission line is absorbed
within the resistor and not reflected back down the
transmission line causing signal interference
(noise) Consult Amphenol for more information

Transition Adapters
In conjunction with its Differential Twinax and Quadrax contacts, Amphenol
has developed a full line of Transition Adapters in order to facilitate launching of
controlled impedance signals to printed circuit boards These use differential twinax
or quadrax 90° or straight receptacles and they can be either threaded or cable to
board direct The threaded transition adapters provide an ideal method of
disconnecting the differential twinax or quadrax connector from the board
See pages 234-240 for further description, performance data and ordering of

All popular series of Amphenol circular connectors
and many rectangular connectors are available with coax contacts Diameters are
standardized in sizes 4, 8, 12 and 16 so that coaxial contacts may be interchanged
with power contacts in connector arrangements which include those sizes Popular
RG cable types and a variety of other commercial coaxial cables can be accommo-
dated See page 244 for coax contact performance data Matched impedance size 12
coax contacts are also available (see page 248) The use of coax contacts within a
connector, compared to the use of individual coaxial/shielded connectors, offers
advantages of savings in space and weight and no cross-mating difficulties Coax and
standard contacts may be mixed within the connector to meet special signal needs
The connector itself offers further protection and environmental integrity through the
grommets and seals used, and coaxial junction is protected by the connector
