N M CRIMP for LMR100/RG174/RG316 Cable

Description

The N-Type connector is one of the most popular interfaces for microwave applications, known for its rugged design and excellent power-handling capabilities. This male (plug) variant is specialized for the 2.5mm to 2.8mm (0.100″ – 0.110″) micro-cable class, providing a precision fit for versatile cables such as standard RG174, high-temperature RG316, and low-loss LMR100. It provides a high-strength transition between small-diameter internal wiring and standard N-Type female equipment ports.

This connector utilizes a professional crimp termination system. The precision-machined outer ferrule provides a 360-degree mechanical bond with the cable’s shielding, while the internal center pin is typically soldered to the center conductor to ensure maximum signal integrity on small-gauge wires. Manufactured with a heavy-duty nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and low VSWR up to 6 GHz. The 5/8-24 threaded interface ensures a reliable, vibration-proof connection, making it a staple for telecommunications, medical electronics, and industrial telemetry.

Key Technical Advantages

• Micro-Cable Precision Match: Specifically calibrated for the 0.100 to 0.110-inch OD cable family, ensuring an optimized electrical transition and high-strength pull-off resistance for thin coaxial lines.

• Vibration-Proof Threaded Interface: The 5/8-24 threaded coupling provides a secure mechanical lock, preventing signal intermittent issues common in mobile, automotive, or high-shock industrial applications.
