EIA Flange connectors are available in EIA 7/8 ", EIA 1-5/8", and EIA 3-1/8 "versions, all of which are suitable for RF applications. Designed to support foam or air dielectric cables, they consist of a body, mounting flanges with various bolt rings, and usually have interchangeable/removable central conductor "bullets". Due to its flexibility in design, EIA connectors are usually not recognized as male or female connectors, as connectors can typically be configured as either. EIA connectors can be used for high-power applications such as directional couplers, coaxial cables, power amplifier outputs, and communication tower and antenna interconnections. The most common sizes in general testing and measurement applications are 1-5/8 and 7/8 EIA.
