QDS Connectors
Amphenol manufactures a family of QDS connectors used in medium-sized application with 50 Ω impedance requirement.

The connector utilizes a positive-locking, push-on coupling interface. It is quick mating, ideal for tight spaces and used where a torque wrench is not practical.

These connectors are excellent for applications where power handling and low intermodulation are required.
