The Anritsu 34KFKF50 RF Interface is a K-type (2.92 mm) coaxial connector engineered for precision signal transmission across DC to 40 GHz and extended performance to 43.5 GHz. Constructed from heat-treated beryllium copper with gold plating, this 50 Ohm interface delivers VSWR of 1.33 max and insertion loss of 0.15 dB max to 43.5 GHz, ensuring minimal signal degradation in demanding RF and microwave test environments. The connector supports mode-free performance and is traceable to national standards laboratories—critical for uncertainty budgeting in vector network analysis and precision measurement applications.
