RF connector selection and signal integrityHow impedance, connector family, return loss, insertion loss and passive intermodulation determine the performance of a coaxial link. A practical guide to choosing RF connectors and cable, reading their specifications and avoiding the mating and handling errors that degrade signal integrity. - 02

Connector selection for high-vibration environmentsVibration rarely breaks a connector outright; it degrades the contact interface through micromotion, fretting and intermittent interruptions. This guide explains the failure mechanisms, the connector and cable features that resist them, and how sinusoidal, random and shock tests are used to qualify a connection. - 03

Shielded vs unshielded connectorsA shield only improves electromagnetic compatibility when it is continuous from cable to housing to panel, with low impedance at the frequencies that matter. This article explains how foil and braid shields work, what transfer impedance measures, why 360° termination outperforms pigtails, how to approach shield grounding, and when an unshielded connection is the better engineering choice. - 04

Reliable connectivity in automotive applicationsVehicle connectors must keep a low, stable contact resistance through years of vibration, temperature cycling and exposure to fluids, while being assembled at line speed. This note covers the environmental loads, the test philosophy behind USCAR-2 and LV 214, assurance features such as TPA and CPA, and the extra requirements of high-voltage and high-speed data connections. - 05

Cable assembly design considerationsA cable assembly is a small system: conductors, insulation, jacket, shielding, terminations, connectors and strain relief that must work together for the life of the equipment. This guide covers requirements capture, material and termination choices, testing and the documentation that makes an assembly reproducible.
