Connectors for high reliability and low signal loss

AMPHENOL RF has introduced a selection of redesigned TNC connectors optimised for use with Low Loss 195 and 240 cables. Low Loss cables provide enhanced shielding with a bonded foil construction ensuring 100 per cent coverage. The connectors feature a nominal impedance of 50 ohms and offer low return loss from DC to 6 GHz. The new TNC connectors are available in straight jack, bulkhead jack, straight plug and right angle plug configurations. All designs feature a crimp termination, allowing for quick and secure assembly, and require standard hex crimp tooling. The redesigned TNC connectors provide consistent electrical performance at high frequencies and feature improved grounding for more stable RF performance. Amphenol RF’s TNC connectors optimised for Low Loss cables are suitable for applications requiring high reliability and low signal loss. TNC connectors can also be found in various industrial, wireless and broadband solutions. Amphenol RF is a manufacturer of coaxial connectors for use in radio frequency, microwave and data transmission system applications. Amphenol – USA Website : www.amphenolrf.com
