N M RA Solder for Semi-rigid .141/RG402 Cable

Description

The N-Type connector is prized for its exceptional mechanical strength and microwave-range performance. This Right Angle (RA) variant is specialized for the 3.58mm (0.141″) cable class, specifically optimized for RG402 semi-rigid and conformable cables. The 90-degree configuration is essential for tight-access microwave modules and backplane routing where a standard straight connector would exceed space constraints or compromise the cable’s critical bend radius.

This connector utilizes a direct-solder termination system. The cable’s solid copper outer jacket is soldered directly into the connector’s rear housing, creating a seamless, 360-degree electrical bond. This method eliminates the signal leakage and mechanical instability often associated with crimp or clamp designs on semi-rigid lines. Manufactured with a heavy-duty gold or tri-metal plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and exceptionally low VSWR up to 18 GHz. The solid solder interface ensures maximum shielding effectiveness and phase stability, making it indispensable for precision microwave engineering.

Key Technical Advantages
