What Is a 2.92mm Female-Female Flange Mount Adapter?

The 2.92mm Female-Female Flange Mount Adapter is a precision microwave connection component used to link two male 2.92mm (K-type) connectors together, and is designed to be mounted to a panel or bulkhead. It functions effectively across a large frequency range from DC to 40 GHz.

This adaptor solves main problems in high frequency systems . It minimises signal deterioration, reduces mechanical instability in test settings and offers consistent transition between internal and exterior environments.

Flange design, available in 2-hole or 4-hole, provides structural stiffness. It stops the connection from turning as it is being mated, which is a frequent way for them to fail in high-vibration aerospace and laboratory uses.
