What is a Coaxial Connector?
A coaxial connector is an electrical connector designed to maintain the coaxial structure of coaxial cables, providing shielded signal transmission with minimal electromagnetic interference (EMI). These connectors are essential components in RF systems, telecommunications, medical devices, and broadcast equipment.
The global coaxial connector market reached USD 4.2 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% through 2030.
00S and 01S Connector Overview
TFA.00S.250.CTAC -00S Substitute
los TFA.00S.250.CTAC is a straight unipole coaxial plug that serves as a direct substitute for the Lemo 00 connector with 50 ohm impedance and push-pull self-locking mechanism.
TFA.1S.250.CTAC – 1S Substitute
los TFA.1S.250.CTAC substitutes the Lemo 01 connector, offering slightly larger dimensions for enhanced durability with RG174, RG188, RG316 cable compatibility.

Preguntas frecuentes (FAQ)
What is the difference between 00S and 01S connectors?
The 00S series is smaller (outer diameter ~8mm) than the 1S series (~10mm). Both use the same push-pull locking mechanism.
Can RG174 be used for high-frequency applications?
RG174 is suitable for frequencies up to approximately 1 GHz. For higher frequencies, consider low-loss alternatives like RG316.
What is the typical lead time for custom cable assemblies?
Standard custom cable assemblies typically have a lead time of 1-2 weeks. Contact us for specific timeline estimates.
