Boonton Power Sensor Connectors
Boonton peak and average power sensors have either an “N”
or “K” type RF signal connector depending on the sensor fre-
quency range shown in Figures 1 and 2. Newer sensor models
have a ten-pin connector for signal and data communication
connection to the power meter base module.(see Figure 3)
Average power sensors have a two-pin signal connector for
use with existing Boonton meters, but can be purchased or
matched with a ten-pin data adapter that allows connection
to newer power meter models. (See Figure 5).
When selecting a sensor, be sure of the maxi-
mum peak and average RF input power value.
RF signal inputs above the sensor‘s specified
upper power limit may result in permanent
damage to the detector circuitry.
