High-Performance Rapid-Fit HELIFLEX® Connectors with O-Ring Sealing

April 9, 2020

Connectors feature excellent gas tightness, ensure extremely low losses and are very easy to install

The new HCA series of HELIFLEX cable connectors ensure extremely low losses to enable outstanding performance for the most demanding high-power RF transmission applications.

The innovative, rapid-fit connector design eliminates the need for sealing compound and ensures the connector is ready for pressurization immediately after it is attached to the cable. Extreme gas tightness maintains overpressure for increased voltage handling throughout the system. To save installation time and costs, the connectors can be quickly and easily installed using basic hand tools. The connectors are waterproof to IP 66 and IP 68 levels for safe, long-term operation in the harshest environments anywhere in the world.

The new HELIFLEX connectors are available in sizes that connect to 1 5/8-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch HELIFLEX air-dielectric coaxial cables. A 7/8-inch connector size will also be available soon.
