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.

As with all RF connectors the safe power handling limit is determined by the heating and subsequent oxidation of the centre 'pin' for continuous operation at high frequencies, and by voltage breakdown between inner and outer conductors at lower frequencies or short pulse operation. For reliable high

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

There are larger connectors in the same family; the 13-30 DIN (external thread 50 mm, 3 mm pitch) and the (rare) 25-58 DIN that permit progressively higher power handling (approximately twice and four times, respectively). As the cables to fit these connectors are rare, neither connector
