AMP offers a comprehen-
sive range of 7-16
Connectors to suit today’s
challenging Wireless
Infrastructure Market. This
market demands reliable,
intermodulation sensitive
connectors that accommo-
date higher power.
AMP 7-16 Coaxial
Connector Series provides
reliable, intermodulation-
minimizing solutions that
also provide a logical alter-
native to N Series connec-
tors in high power applica-
tions where a more rugged
interface design is required.
Typical examples of this
include transmitter to
antenna links and channel
switching networks.
The 7-16 Series conforms to
CECC 22190 and IEC 169-4
specification standards and
has a 2.7kV working voltage
at the connector interface
and maximum power

handling capability of 4kW.
The series has been
designed for these demand-
ing environments and can
withstand a minimum of 500
mating cycles. Popular RG
cable sizes are covered in
both solder/clamp and
crimp attachment styles.
Two piece combination con-
nectors adapt to straight or
right angle configurations,
minimizing the number of
different part codes needed
by the customer. Series N to
7-16 between series adapters
facilitate the transition
between system interfaces
as well as providing a test
interface.
The increased customer
demand for greater channel
capacity combined with
increased sensitivity of
receivers has exposed the
IMD (Intermodulation
Distortion) phenomenon. To
address this problem 7-16
Connectors have been
designed to reduce IMD
through the use of non-fer-
rous base materials and by
silver plating of the electrical
path. The proprietary White
Bronze plating technique is
standard, providing high
corrosion resistance, low
porosity, scratch resistance,
low RF loss and a non-mag-
netic finish. Incorporation of
hex-knurl coupling nuts
allow for hand or wrench
tightening of connectors,
depending upon the appli-
cation.
AMP is a global ISO 9001
certified manufacturer and
maintains a complete in-
house Intermodulation
Testing facility. Connector
part numbers shown form
just a small part of the
extensive interconnect
package that AMP offers for
the professional wireless
and telecom markets.
