Low Passive Intermodulation (PIM) connectors are specialized components used primarily in radio frequency (RF) applications to ensure high signal integrity and performance in communication systems. PIM, a type of signal interference, occurs when two or more signals combine in a non-linear device or material, creating additional unwanted frequencies. This can degrade the quality of wireless communication systems, including cellular networks and data transmission services.

Low PIM connectors are made from high-quality materials that minimize the potential for PIM. These materials include non-ferrous metals and alloys, which are less likely to contribute to intermodulation products. The contact surfaces are typically plated with silver or a similarly low-resistance and non-corroding material to ensure consistent performance.
These connectors are designed with precision to avoid any mechanical irregularities that could contribute to PIM. This includes ensuring tight mechanical tolerances and a smooth surface finish. The design often incorporates features to minimize the junction contacts and mechanical stress, which can be sources of PIM.
Stability under mechanical stress is critical, as movement between connector parts can increase PIM levels. Low PIM connectors are constructed to maintain a stable contact force and minimize vibrations, even in environments with physical stress or temperature fluctuations.
