UHF M RA CRIMP for LMR400/RG8/RG11/RG213/RG393 Cable

Description

The UHF series is the standard for high-power handling in HF and VHF communication systems. This specialized Right Angle (RA) male variant is designed for installations where cable management is critical and clearance behind equipment is minimal. By orienting the cable entry at 90 degrees to the threaded interface, it prevents mechanical stress and the risk of cable kinking, which is particularly vital for the rigid, large-diameter cables of the 10mm (0.400″) class.

Compatible with ultra-low-loss LMR400, industrial-grade RG213, and high-temperature RG393, this connector ensures a precision fit for heavy-gauge conductors and thick dielectrics. It utilizes a professional crimp termination for the outer ferrule to provide a 360-degree mechanical bond with the cable braid, ensuring maximum pull-off resistance. The internal center contact is typically soldered to guarantee a high-conductivity, low-resistance path capable of handling the high wattage levels associated with amateur radio transmitters and maritime power amplifiers.

Key Technical Advantages

• 90° Space-Saving Geometry: Allows for high-power cabling in tight enclosures, vehicle racks, or behind-the-chassis mounts without violating the minimum bend radius of heavy feeder cables.

• Large-Diameter Precision Fit: Specifically calibrated for 0.400-inch OD cables, ensuring a seamless mechanical transition and high-strength termination for backbone antenna runs.

• High Power & Voltage Stability: Engineered to manage high RF voltages typical of HF/VHF transmitters, supported by high-grade PTFE insulation to prevent dielectric breakdown.

• Rugged Mechanical Bond: The heavy-walled crimp ferrule provides a permanent, vibration-proof grip, essential for mobile command centers and tower-site installations.

• Corrosion-Resistant Construction: The nickel-plated brass body offers superior protection against environmental wear, maintaining electrical integrity in outdoor and marine deployments.
