1.0-2.3 Terminators

Engineered for modern coaxial networks, the terminators in the DIN 1.0/2.3 family from Amphenol RF offer reliable impedance matching and termination for applications where space-constrained and high-density RF layouts are required. According to Amphenol RF’s catalog, the “1.0-2.3 Terminators” are offered in both in-series and between-series designs to support the full spectrum of 1.0/2.3 connector applications.

The compact DIN 1.0/2.3 interface features a push-pull coupling mechanism, enabling rapid connect/disconnect in high-channel-count modules and broadcast patch-panels. The series supports 50 Ω and select 75 Ω configurations and is suitable for RF termination functions across instrumentation, communications and broadcast systems.

Features and Benefits

• Compact DIN 1.0/2.3 interface — facilitates high-density connector placement in panels, racks and modules.
• Push-pull coupling mechanism — allows fast installation and secure locking without cross-threading, ideal for field or rack-mount deployments.
• Industry-standard impedance terminations (50 Ω, with some versions in 75 Ω) — ensures proper matching and minimal signal reflection in coaxial systems.
• Wide environment and mechanical durability — designed for repeated mate/demate cycles in demanding installations.
• Full support by Amphenol RF’s global product ecosystem — including CAD models, detailed documentation and terminator selections for the 1.0-2.3 series.

Key Technical Details

• Impedance: Standard terminations are 50 Ω; 75 Ω variants may be available for broadcast/video or other specialized applications.
• Frequency range: While specific terminator datasheets depend on part-number, the DIN 1.0/2.3 connector family supports up to ~10 GHz for 50 Ω designs and up to ~4 GHz (or higher for extended-range designs) for 75 Ω.
• Mating cycles: The connector family is rated for approximately 500 mating cycles minimum under nominal conditions; actual terminations may vary by configuration and usage.
• Temperature range: Standard termination parts support roughly –40 °C to +155 °C operating range; actual performance may vary depending on termination style and environment.
• Special features: Quick-connect push-pull coupling, dense footprint, broad part selection supporting free-hanging (fly-lead) or panel-mounted terminations; note that standard Amphenol RF terminators are not hermetically sealed or classified as IP67.

Applications

• Terminating unused RF ports in high-density base station or telecom equipment using DIN 1.0/2.3 interfaces.
• Broadcast and video transmission systems where 75 Ω or 50 Ω terminations are required at patch-panels or router inputs.
• Test and measurement instrumentation where reliable RF termination is required for calibration, measurement integrity or “dummy load” style closure.
• Dense rack-mount or module-to-module connectivity systems where space is constrained and a compact push-pull termination is advantageous.
• Coaxial signal chains in data communications, broadcast switching or distribution systems requiring proper impedance termination to avoid reflections and signal integrity issues.
