Aviel Electronics Solutions

WiFi and FCC Compliant Antenna Connectors

Aviel Electronics designs and manufactures “unique coupling connectors” for antenna connections that require compliance with Part 15.203 of the Federal Communications Commission regulations. The connectors range from totally custom to a specific application to a modified version of a standard connector interface to a “standard” reverse polarity interface.

Flange mount, crimp and compression cable mounts can be used with uniquely interfaced connector pairs to preclude the possibility of erroneous component mismating. “Coded” pairs can also be fabricated to add further uniqueness within a family of connector components.

Precision Components Fabrication

Aviel Electronics fabricates precision detailed components such as contacts, insulators, diode and crystal holders, bodies, insulators, and transmission and mechanical components to customer specifications. Component sizes range from the subminiature to several inches in diameter, depending on component configurations. All phases of fabrication from slotting, crimping, heat treating and plating can be accommodated, and quantities from prototype to production are welcome.

Prototype Connectors

Aviel Electronics innovative design and manufacturing capabilities allow for a quick reaction to your specific needs and short lead time for prototype components, generally without non-recurring engineering or tooling costs.

Quick Disconnect Connectors with Lanyard Release Solve Varied Problems

Aviel Electronics’ Quick Disconnect Connectors with Lanyard Release disengage from each other when applying an axial force to the attached lanyard, but will not disengage when applying axial force to the coaxial cable. Our design ensures that the connectors will remain securely mated in their application until a quick disengagement is required and prevents unintentional disengagement from coaxial cable tension.

With the versatility of a slide-on connector and secure connection of a standard coupling nut connector, these Quick Disconnect Connectors with Lanyard Release offer the best solution for a variety of applications. Whether you need your connector to disengage during launch or you want to reduce the setup time of connecting and disconnecting your test equipment, our Quick Disconnect Connectors with Lanyard Release is the solution. Since we custom manufacture these connectors in our Las Vegas, Nevada factory, we offer them in various line sizes, materials and finishes.

The Quick Disconnect Connectors with Lanyard Release shown here have a performance rating compliant with MIL-PRF-39012 TNC connectors. The engagement force does not exceed 7 pounds and disengagement force is between 1.5 to 9 pounds with the Lanyard pull angle 10º maximum from the axis of the connector.

Obsolete and difficult to locate

Aviel Electronics can fabricate functional equivalents for most RF coaxial connectors and adapters that are obsolete, discontinued or no longer available. Aviel specializes in manufacturing connectors that are of a standard configuration but are not easily obtainable including discontinued series of other connector manufactures.

Aviel Electronics can cross reference to many of the more common connectors manufactured by other connector suppliers. Available in all common interfaces, including SMA, SMB, SMC, MCX, and other miniature series, and larger interfaces such as BNC, TNC, N, C, SC, HN, LT and LC.

Typical body materials include brass, stainless steel and aluminum, plated with gold, silver, nickel, anodize and olive drab. Contacts materials are brass, beryllium copper of phosphor bronze, with gold or silver plating. Virgin PTFE is the primary dielectric material with other material options available. Body configurations include straight, right angle, bulkhead, flange mount, blind-mate, tri-axial and others.

Modified Connectors

Aviel Electronics can eliminate your buy and rework problems by fabricating connectors to specifically match your end use, saving costly rework, and inspection time in your company, not to mention our ability to meet your J.I.T. needs.

Modified SMB connectors meet needs of military customers.

Aviel Electronics modifies standard industry connector designs to meet specific requirements. Recently, a military customer approached Aviel for connector help. They had a panel designed around a competitor’s SMB connector and they were experiencing a variety of problems out in the field. The first issue was that the SMB connectors would easily disengage when minimal axial force was applied to a mated pair. To solve this issue, Aviel engineers designed a custom locking mechanism for the SMB Plug that would work on standard SMB Jacks.

Moisture entering the connector through the interface was the next issue on the customer's list and Aviel presented a simple, but effective solution. The customer's application was subject to harsh climate and no ingress of water in harmful quantity was allowed when their enclosure was immersed in water up to one meter. Aviel modified the SMB Plug and added internal o-rings to achieve an IP67 rating.

Finally, Aviel Electronics had one more issue to solve for their customer and this solution was not in any physics books. Their customer’s concern was that technicians could accidentally mismatch the input and output cables under strenuous conditions and jeopardize a mission. Aviel offered a reverse polarity version of the connector with a visually distinguishable coupling mechanism. Mating the wrong pair was now not only unlikely, but also physically impossible.

Aviel Electronics' design and manufacturing capabilities allow for quick reaction to specific needs and short lead-times for prototype components. Aviel engineers have the education and experience to solve interconnect challenges.

Hermetically Sealed Connectors

Aviel Electronics can design and manufacture hermetically sealed connectors and adapters in most series for environmental and space applications. Once the connector series and body configuration is established, the inner construction of the connector can be designed to supply the sealing required for your operating environment. Sealing can be accomplished by using O-rings, epoxy seals and glass-to-metal seals. Seals can easily withstand air pressures of 100 PSI+ of pressure and helium leak rates of ‹1 x 10 -8 cc/second of helium tracer gas. Applications can range from moisture resistance sealing, space applications, material detection systems, isolation of volatile materials, and altitude problems. Connectors can be supplied in configurations from small custom designs through SMA, TNC, N, SC and HN sizes, and in body configurations from bulkhead, screw-in, flange mount, and press-in designs.

Custom RF Connector Solutions for Limited Space Applications

With sizes ranging from SMA and below, options can include hermetically sealed connectors and non-magnetic materials. Cable assemblies can be provided to incorporate these small connectors into your system.
