Are your connectors tested for durability?

Yes. Each connector series includes a specified mating cycle rating, which is verified through mechanical testing. For example, SMA and BNC connectors are typically rated for 500 mating cycles.

Durability testing ensures that connectors can withstand repeated use while maintaining electrical performance. For applications requiring frequent connect/disconnect, Amphenol RF also offers ruggedized connectors and adapters designed to extend service life.
