The new couplers can also be manufactured to meet military specifications.
Each of the hybrid couplers handle 20 watts of average power and 3 kW of peak power with an operating temperature of -54C to +85C. Model 3014265 measures only 2.62 inches (L) x 1.00 inches (W) x 0.40 inches (H), and weighs just 2.0 ounces. Model 3017265 measures 2.60 inches (L) x 0.625 inches (W) x 0.50 inches (H), and weighs just 1.6 ounces. SMA female connectors are standard and N-type female connectors are optional on both models. These new couplers are available from stock to 30 days, ARO.
