Sliding Terminations
2.92mm (K) and 3.5mm Connectors Description These precision sliding terminations have interchangeable female and male connectors, eliminating the need for separate female and male loads for each connector. The 481C has a center conductor and connector body for the female and male interfaces. The 8035A has a single center conductor and interchangeable female and male center contacts and connector bodies. Each model comes in a foam-lined wooden instrument case. The 481C and 8035A are characterized by highly accurate, 50 ohm airline impedance and low terminating element VSWR. The connectors are beadless (air dielectric), and the movable center conductors can be set to the correct connector interface conditions with the aid of an appropriate connector gage. The travel of the movable loads is at least 1/2 wavelength (at the lowest rated frequency) so that frequencies within the rated phase range of the load reflection can be reversed and separated from other in-system reflections.	481C
