DIN is an acronym for the Deutsches Institut für Normung, the standards |
 |
|
organization that harmonised the standard for the connector. (previously the 7-16 |
|
had been developed as a military 'special' and made by Spinner and others.) |
|
The 7/16 is a reference to the 7 mm inside diameter of the female inner contact |
|
and the corresponding 16 mm ID of the outer contact. The external thread is |
|
29mm, 1.5mm pitch. |
7/16 DIN connectors are used in antenna systems where there are multiple |
|
transmitters using the same antenna or where a base station antenna is co- |
|
located with a large number of other transmitting antennas |
These connectors produce lower inter-modulation distortion products and thus are specified at busy RF sites and in |
|
almost all trunking systems where multiple transmitters share a common antenna, Note that an antenna rated for low passive inter-modulation (PIM) performance must be used along with these connectors. It defeats the purpose of designing a low PIM antenna system if regular N connectors or a non-PIM rated antenna are used. |

Features & Benefits |
 Low IMD and low VSWR provides improved system performance. |
|
Self-flaring design ensures ease of installation with standard hand tool. |
|
Pre-assembled gasket protects against dust (P68) and water (IP68) per IEC 169. |
|
Limited internal junctions reduce sources of IMD. |
|
Easy-Hex coupling nut allows tightening by hand or with a standard wrench for ease of mating |
