Features
The use of
P
LANAR
C
ROWN
connectors on instruments,
cables, components/accessories offers the manufacturer
and user the following benefits.
Reduced Downtime
- Damaged connectors can be
replaced in seconds without any tools. Repair cost is mini-
mized to that of a single connector. Recalibration, in most
applications, is virtually eliminated due to closely matched
phase, mechanical dimensions and insertion loss of the
replaceable P
LANAR
C
ROWN
® assemblies.
Versatility
- Ability to select different connector types adds
versatility to instruments, cables, systems and accessories.
It offers the end user multiple connector options. Connector
type and sex can be readily interchanged as dictated by the
system/DUT, eliminating the need for adapters.
Superior Electrical Performance
than would be obtained
by additional adapters.
Simplified Network and Power Measurements
on
non-insertable devices.
Non-rotational Interface
- Since the P
LANAR
I
NTERFACE
has
interlocking teeth, it eliminates unthreading of the connec-
tion when the Crown is subjected to a rotational torque. This
feature is especially useful on coaxial cables where one end
unthreads so easily when the cable is subjected to twisting
or flexing.
Torque Independent Connection
- A torque wrench is not
required when mating the Crown to the bulkhead. A
reasonable hand tightening of the coupling nut results in an
excellent RF connection. This is achieved by having spring
biased inner and outer contacts in the Crown connectors.
Spring biasing ensures an intimate electrical contact at the
P
LANAR
I
NTERFACE
. A pilot diameter on the bulkhead
guarantees excellent concentricity.
®
Axial Isolation of the Center Contact
- Any excessive
axial force on the Crown center contact is absorbed by the
spring biasing at the Planar interface end.
Standardized Mounting Holes
- All instrument panels
can be fabricated with a standard 3/8" Dia. D-hole inde-
pendent of the front panel connector type/sex. This
eliminates changes in sheet metal design when different
connector options are requested.
Description
The P
LANAR
C
ROWN
®
Universal Connector System is com-
prised of two connector halves/subassemblies which
have a common mating interface referred to as the
P
LANAR
I
NTERFACE
. The first connector half is called the
P
LANAR
B
ULKHEAD
which readily mounts into instrument
front panels, components and cables. One end of this
bulkhead has a 2.92mm (SMK) male/female primary con-
nector. The other end has a combination of grooves,
external threads and a coaxial P
LANAR
I
NTERFACE
with a
2.92mm (SMK) airline geometry. The bulkhead operates
mode free beyond 40 GHz. The second connector half,
called the P
LANAR
C
ROWN
®
, has a similar 2.92mm P
LANAR
I
NTERFACE
on one end, with spring biased inner and outer
contacts. It has corresponding projections which interlock
with slots on the bulkhead and a coupling nut which
secures the two connector halves, resulting in a non-rota-
tional, torque independent electrical connection. The
spring biased inner and outer contacts eliminate the need
for specifying proof torque and no tools are required to
make or break the connection. The primary end of the
P
LANAR
C
ROWN
®
is offered in a variety of primary coaxial
connector configurations such as SMA, Type N, GPC-7,
TNC, 3.5mm, 2.92mm (SMK) and 2.4mm (under develop-
ment), thus providing an extremely versatile connector
system wherein a connector can be replaced in a matter
of seconds.

INTERFACE DIMENSIONS & ADDITIONAL FEATURES
OF PRIMARY CONNECTORS:
SMA (Models 7005A-1 and -2):
Contact Pin Recession: 0 to 0.1mm (0 to 0.004 in)
Front Insulator Recession: 0.23 to 0.33mm (0.009 to 0.013
in)
Aeroflex / Weinschel high frequency
SMA
connector oper-
ates mode free beyond 26.5 GHz and is a superior SMA
connector. It incorporates a wider shoulder on the male and
female mating planes (0.020" typical compared to 0.007" on
standard SMA connectors) and has a 3 slot female contact
instead of the conventional four slot design. Both these fea-
tures result in a
more rugged
connector with longer life and
improved repeatability. Unlike many commercial teflon
loaded SMA connectors, these connectors will not cause
premature damage when mated with 3.5mm, 2.92mm and
K® connectors.
Type N (Models 7005A-3 and -4):
Contact Pin Protrusion (N female): 5.18 to 5.26mm (0.204
to 0.207 in)
Contact Pin Recession (N Male): 5.28 to 5.36mm (0.208 to
0.211 in)
The male and female Type N connectors are Precision Test
connectors per MIL-STD-348. They are usable to 22 GHz.
GPC-7 (Model 7005A-5):
Contact Pin Recession: 0 to 0.05mm (0 to 0.002 in)
The GPC-7 connectors are designed per IEEE Std 287.
3.5mm (Models 7005A-6 and -7):
Contact Pin Recession: 0 to 0.08mm (0 to 0.003 in)
TNC (Models 7005A-8 and -9):
Contact Pin and Insulator Protrusion (TNC Female): 5.03 to
5.28mm (0.198 to 0.208 inch)
Contact Pin and Insulator Recession: 5.28mm (0.208 in)
minimum
These TNC male and female connectors are designed per
MIL-STD-348 interface requirements for the NEW TNC con-
nectors and operate mode free beyond 18 GHz.
2.92mm (Models 7005A-10 and -11):
Contact Pin Recession: 0 to 0.08mm (0 to 0.003 in)
In addition to the many advantages of 2.92mm airline con-
nectors the Aeroflex / Weinschel version incorporates a
three slot female contact design resulting in a more ruggedi-
zed contact than the conventional four slot design on most
2.92mm connectors.
2.4mm (Models 7005A-12 and 7005A-13):
Contact Pin Recession: 0 to 0.08mm (0 to 0.003 in)
Applications
Test Instruments
- Synthesizers; network/spectrum
analyzers, power meters and many more.
Accessories
- Detectors, SWR bridges/auto testers; power
sensors, etc.,
Microwave Cables
- Cables constructed with the
P
LANAR
B
ULKHEAD
connector interface at one end offer the user a
wide choice of primary coaxial connectors offered on the
P
LANAR
C
ROWN
models. For an instrument such as a VNA,
this eliminates the need for having different sets of test
cables for different connector configurations. Cables with a
built in PLANAR CROWN on the opposite end mate directly
with
P
LANAR
B
ULKHEADS
on instruments, providing an
excellent non-rotational electrical connection.
Special Configurations
- The
P
LANAR
B
ULKHEAD
design
can be provided with a built in attenuator or dc block. This
is a useful feature when instrument front ends require a
masking attenuator or need to be protected against dc
voltages. Although the basic mechanical design of the
P
LANAR
B
ULKHEAD
was intended for panel mounting, it can
be modified to mount directly into other accessories. The
primary connector of the bulkhead can also be modified to
launch directly on microstrip or suspended stripline
substrates.
