Agilent/Keysight bulkhead connectors enable secure panel-mounted connections across RF, microwave, and vacuum applications. Available in multiple configurations—triax, 2.4mm, SMA, and KF (NW) clamp fittings—these connectors deliver stable signal integrity and reliable termination for flexible test and measurement setups.
Technical Specifications
Triax Bulkhead Connectors
• N1416A: 200 V rating
• N1416B: 500 V rating
• Function: Routes individual triax cable terminals to external test equipment
2.4mm Bulkhead Connector
• Male-to-male configuration
• Compatible with instruments including the Keysight E8257D
SMA Bulkhead Connectors
• Outer threads cleanable with isopropyl alcohol and lint-free cloth (center contact excluded)
KF (NW) Bulkhead Clamp Fittings
• Aluminum clamps with stainless steel bolts and washers
• Cast steel alternative available
• Baseplate connection option
– Key Features
• Multiple connector types address diverse RF and vacuum applications
• Triax connectors isolate each terminal for direct equipment integration
• SMA design allows non-destructive field cleaning
• KF (NW) fittings use corrosion-resistant hardware for vacuum service
• Panel mounting provides fixed, repeatable connection points
– Typical Applications
• Test and measurement system integration requiring panel-mounted access
• RF and microwave signal routing with maintained signal integrity
• Flexible cabling configurations where direct cable-to-instrument connection is impractical
• Vacuum system baseplates utilizing KF (NW) flanges
– Compatibility & Integration
Bulkhead connectors mate with Agilent and Keysight instruments and test systems. Triax variants (N1416A/B) accept triaxial cable assemblies. The 2.4mm connector integrates with RF instruments such as the E8257D. KF (NW) fittings interface with standard KF (NW) vacuum flanges.
