The 8042C1 is a beadless Type N air-line coaxial transmission line intended for measurement and calibration applications, with an electrical length of 14.990 cm and an odd 1/4-wavelength frequency rating of 0.50 GHz. It operates from DC to 18.0 GHz with a maximum VSWR of 1.04, and features a retractable male connector nut that allows the center conductor to float freely without dielectric support. The part is designed for use in establishing precise reference positions and as a sample holder for dielectric property measurements.
Coaxial air lines are air-dielectric transmission lines with highly accurate dimensions that can be used as fundamental impedance standards in measurement and calibration applications, and may also be used to establish reference positions for measurements.
Bead supported air lines offer greater convenience and easier connections (the center conductor is automatically aligned by the dielectric bead for easy connection); beadless air lines offer better impedance and electrical length accuracies, as well as lower VSWR (the center conductor floats free in the air line body, and the male connector nut is retractable to facilitate insertion of the center conductor contact before the thread- on connection tightened.
