APC-7 connector - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hello,
does a APC-7 connector exist, which I can solder on a PCB ? If so, where can I buy it ?

Hi
I purchased some APC-7 to N type adapters from a US supplier about 3 months ago. I will look up the email and get back to you with url data.
They advertize on eBay, so a search for APC-7 might turn them up.
QRX.

Hi
Check this source out.
I have purchased APC-7 to N transitions from them.
Delivery was quick and prices not too salty.

many people make apc7 adapters; for one, see sm electronics http://www.smelectronicsllc.com

apc7 to pcb is harder to find; maybe amphenol?

i'm curious, i've never seen a 7mm soldered to a pcb; why?

I guess because the purists who came up with the design for this high-precision coax connector would curl their toes at the idea of using them for anything worse than a -20dB reflection loss application like a transit to microstrip.
That suddenly makes me wonder: what is the best S11 that I might achieve for a coax to microstrip transition? Anyone?
