RF Connectors New Products and Services
7-16 DIN Adapter Kit Now Available in White Bronze Plating
RF Connectors, a division of RF Industries, supplies many adapter and tool kits. One popular kit, introduced more than 10 years ago, is now available in white bronze plating as well as silver.
Our 7-16 DIN adapter kit has proven to be invaluable to end users. Technicians in the cellular, PCS, GPS and digital communications fields are finding more requirements for 7-16 DIN adapters. The 7-16 DIN connector interface offers technical advantages over the N or SMA connector interfaces for cellular communications. Capable of carrying high power at high frequencies, 7-16 DINs are larger and more precise, offering more stable electrical and mechanical connections with tighter tolerances and improved VSWR performance. The RFA-4013-WB adapter kit with white bronze plating offers a convenient means to bridge type N devices to 7-16 DIN interfaces.
RF Connectors legacy DIN adapters in the RFA-4013 are silver plated. Silver offers exceptional electrical performance and low PIM (Passive Intermodulation) performance. White Bronze plating, also called tri-metal, is tarnish free with excellent electrical performance and low PIM. The hardness of White Bronze plating will stand up to multiple mating cycles. If your application requires frequent coupling and de-coupling and/or if tarnish resistance is an issue, white bronze would be the better plating choice.
All white bronze 7-16 DIN adapters are machined to exacting specifications and compare well with typical silver plated products. All adapters within the 7-16 DIN series are made of machined brass and feature Teflon® insulation and silver-plated contacts. This foam-lined, zippered kit contains six adapters:
- RFD-1652-7 (7-16 DIN Male to 7-16 DIN Female R/A adapter)
- RFD-1653-7 (7-16 DIN Female to 7-16 DIN Female barrel adapter)
- RFD-1670-7 (7-16 DIN Male to N Male adapter)
- RFD-1671-7 (7-16 DIN Male to N Female adapter)
- RFD-1672-7 (7-16 DIN Female to N Male adapter)
- RFD-1673-7 (7-16 DIN Female to N Female adapter)

7/16 DIN Crimp and Solder /Clamp attachment Connectors for LMR®-600 are Convertible for R/A Applications
7/16 DIN connectors are large format 50 ohm interfaces designed for high power wireless telecom applications. RF Connectors, division of RF Industries, introduces two versions of 7/16 DIN connectors for LMR®-600 cable. The RFD-1600-2L2 attaches to the cable with a solder/clamp method. The RFD-1605-2-L2 attaches with a crimp/solder method. Both connectors have a combination feature that allows them to be assembled for straight or right angle applications in the field.
Both connectors conform to the DIN specification of silver plated bodies and pins with Teflon® dielectric. The coupling nuts are designed with a hex/ knurl combination that allows for hand or wrench tightening.Originally developed and deployed in Europe, the 7/16 interface has gained acceptance in North America. DIN is an acronym for Deutsche Industries Norm, a German standard. 7/16 is derived from the diameter of the center contact (7mm) and the diameter of the outer contact (16mm). Characteristics of the design include silver plated connector bodies and contacts for reduced signal distortion from intermodulation. Operating frequency range is up to 7.5Ghz.
