Bird Technologies Group, recently released a new series of high power loads and attenuators that utilize the 4200 Series “Quick Change” (QC) Solderless Connectors for hundreds of possible connector combinations. The new series of products allows users to quickly change the connectors for different applications while avoiding the need for special adapters, cables, or additional units with custom connectors.

The groundbreaking series of QC high power loads and attenuators provides our customers with greater flexibility. These connectors are an important new addition to our robust selection of innovative solutions for the RF industry.

Power capabilities for the loads and attenuators with the QC option range from 150 watts to 1.5 kW and 3 to 40dB for fixed attenuators in a DC-2.5 GHz bandwidth. The new series can be purchased directly from Bird either separately or with loads and attenuators featuring standard QC N connectors. Delivery time is typically 2-4 weeks from the factory.

Standard QC Connector types include N, BNC, SMA, TNC, LC, 7/16 DIN, Terminal Lug (for DC applications), UHF, Mini UHF, HN, C, LT, SC, 7/8 EIA, and 1 5/8 EIA for both fixed and swivel mount.
