N M CRIMP for LMR240 Cable

Description

The N-Type connector is a heavy-duty RF interface designed to provide low-loss performance at microwave frequencies while handling medium to high power levels. This male (plug) variant is specialized for the 6.1mm (0.240″) cable class, specifically optimized for high-performance LMR240 and equivalent low-loss coaxial cables. It provides a precision electrical transition between high-bandwidth equipment ports and flexible, low-attenuation cabling.

This connector utilizes a professional crimp termination system. The outer ferrule is calibrated to provide a high-strength 360-degree mechanical bond with the cable’s braid and jacket, while the precision-machined center pin is typically soldered to the center conductor for maximum signal stability. 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 11 GHz. The threaded coupling provides superior mechanical stability and environmental sealing, making it ideal for outdoor wireless infrastructure and mobile communication units.
