RF connectors actually simply are electrical connector designed to work at radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range and really are in widespread use nowadays. RF actually simply means radio-frequency. RF connectors are also called coax cable connectors.

Those RF connectors are usually used with coaxial cables and are designed to maintain the protection offered by the coaxial design. They actually offer a very quick and easy way to join those coaxial cables to each other as well as to other devices.

The research doings in the area of radio-frequency circuit design really has surged in the last ten years in direct answer to the massive market demand for low cost, high data rate wireless transceivers.

RF Connectors are used with nearly all types of electronic equipment. They would be used for example during the installation and connection of cable television services, but also radio transmissions or even cable modems for connection to the Internet.

Circular connectors also are electrical connectors like the RF connectors, and as their name says, they have a circular shape. They can be used for all military and aeronautical purposes for use wherever severe vibrations are encountered or simply if a mechanical resistance is required. They can obviously be used for less extreme purposes like in everyday electronic devices used by everyone.

Knowing now what RF connectors and Circular connectors are let see what those electrical connector are.

Electrical connectors are conductive devices that will connect electrical circuits as one. The type of connection will depend and can be either temporary, and as a result used for portable device or equipment, or could be a permanent electrical joint between two wires or devices. There are loads of different kinds of electrical connectors on top of the two we just spoke about. You could have SMA or SMB connectors, but also TNC, SMC or MCX connectors. They are all RF connectors but as you can guess, all have a specific purpose. For instance, the MCX is a kind of micro-miniature RF connector manufactured in order to get more cost effective and small connectors of high quality. Those kind of connectors are more and more asked for and the demand is growing fast.

The reason why there are so many different types of electrical connectors is mainly because of the differing importance placed on the design factors.
An ideal electrical connector would really have a low contact resistance and high insulation value and would be resistant to vibration, water, oil, and pressure.
