An RF connector is an electrical connector designed to work at radio
frequencies in the multi-megahertz range. RF connectors are typically used with
coaxial cables and are designed to maintain the shielding that the coaxial
design offers. Better models also minimize the change in transmission line
impedance at the connection. Mechanically they provide a fastening mechanism
(thread, bayonet, braces, push pull) and springs for a low ohmic electric
contact while sparing the gold surface thus allowing above 1000 reconnects and
reducing the insertion force. research activity in the area of radio-frequency (RF)
circuit design has surged in the last decade in direct response to the enormous
market demand for inexpensive, high data rate wireless transceivers.
Types
* BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman)
* C connector (Concelman)
* Dezifix connector, hermaphrodite connector used mainly by Rohde & Schwarz
* GR connector (General Radio)
* F connector, used for U.S. domestic television installations and domestic
satellite LNBs (75 Ohm)
* HN connector, a high voltage version of the N connector
* IEC 169-2 connector, also called Belling Lee connector used throughout Europe
and some other countries for domestic television installations and as FM
connector for radio. It is standardised in EN 60169-2.

video
* NMO mount (New Motorola MOunt), for removable mobile antennas. Large threaded
base for durability in wind.
* N connector (Neill)
* SC connector, screw version of C connector
* Spinner connector, 7-16 inch Spinner connector
* TNC connector (Threaded Neill- Concelman)
* UHF connector (e.g. PL-259/SO-239) Also referred to as an "M-type" connector
by Japanese manufacturers such as Kenwood
