Key Features
- 50 Ω characteristic impedance with 50 µin gold over nickel contact finish ensures low-loss, reliable RF signal integrity from DC through microwave frequencies
- Threaded coupling mechanism provides secure, vibration-resistant mating for RF connections in field instruments and test equipment subject to mechanical stress
- Through-hole PCB mount (TH1) with standard coaxial footprint enables robust solder joint strength for connectors subject to repeated cable mating cycles
Applications
The GRF1-J-P-02-E-ST-TH1 is used in RF test and measurement equipment, software-defined radio platforms, and wireless communication modules where a robust 50 Ω PCB-mount RF jack is needed for coaxial cable interconnection. Its threaded coupling and gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission in antenna interfaces, RF front-end modules, and laboratory instruments operating across a broad frequency range. The through-hole mounting style provides the mechanical strength needed for panel-mount and rack-mount applications requiring repeated cable connect-disconnect cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What characteristic impedance does the GRF1-J-P-02-E-ST-TH1 provide and why is that critical for RF designs?
The GRF1-J-P-02-E-ST-TH1 is designed with a 50 Ω characteristic impedance, which is the universal standard for RF and microwave signal transmission systems. Matching the connector impedance to the 50 Ω PCB trace and coaxial cable impedance minimizes signal reflections, reduces VSWR, and ensures maximum power transfer in RF test equipment, wireless communication circuits, and antenna feed networks operating from DC to several GHz.
How does the threaded coupling of the GRF1-J-P-02-E-ST-TH1 compare to snap-on or push-on RF connectors in vibrating environments?
Threaded coupling on the GRF1-J-P-02-E-ST-TH1 provides a positive mechanical lock that prevents accidental unmating due to vibration, shock, or cable tension, which snap-on SMA or push-on MMCX connectors cannot guarantee in harsh environments. For RF instruments, field-deployed telemetry systems, and military electronics exposed to vibration levels exceeding 5 g, a threaded connector with 50 µin gold contact finish maintains stable 50 Ω impedance continuity that push-on alternatives cannot reliably sustain.
What does the gold-over-nickel contact finish specification mean for the long-term performance of the GRF1-J-P-02-E-ST-TH1?
The 50 µin gold over 50 µin nickel contact finish on the GRF1-J-P-02-E-ST-TH1 provides excellent corrosion resistance and stable low contact resistance over thousands of mating cycles. Gold prevents oxidation that would otherwise increase insertion loss in the 50 Ω RF path, while the 50 µin nickel underlayer acts as a diffusion barrier that prevents gold migration into the copper substrate, maintaining consistent RF performance across the rated connector life in both lab and field environments.
For a 2.4 GHz wireless module PCB, when should a designer select a through-hole RF jack like the GRF1-J-P-02-E-ST-TH1 over an SMT RF connector?
Through-hole RF jacks like the GRF1-J-P-02-E-ST-TH1 are preferred when the connector must withstand repeated cable mating and unmating cycles, high pull-out forces from coaxial cable strain, or panel-mount use where the connector body is exposed to mechanical stress. At 2.4 GHz, the through-hole solder joint provides significantly higher mechanical retention than SMT pads, which can delaminate from the PCB after 500 or more mating cycles. For applications requiring fewer than 100 mating cycles in a protected enclosure, SMT alternatives may offer smaller footprint at equivalent 50 Ω performance.
