G-Type Connectors

Amphenol RF’s G‑Type connector series delivers high-performance, blind-mate bayonet RF connections ideally suited for rack-mounted, panel-based broadcast, CATV, and hybrid fiber-coax applications. Built to meet MIL‑STD‑202 for vibration, shock, thermal shock, and moisture resistance, these robust, push-on connectors ensure reliable, tool-free mating in demanding environments.

With a compact form factor, beryllium-copper spring contacts, and a truly cylindrical RF interface, G-Type connectors offer exceptional signal integrity—including 30 dB return loss up to 1 GHz (10 A version) and rated return loss up to 3 GHz in extended designs—while supporting continuous currents up to 15 A.
