TNC M RA CRIMP for LMR100/RG174/RG316 Cable

Description

The TNC (Threaded Neill-Concelman) series is a high-reliability RF interface that utilizes a threaded coupling to ensure stable connectivity in environments prone to shock and vibration. This specialized Right Angle (RA) male variant is optimized for the 2.5mm (0.100″) sub-miniature cable class, providing a robust solution for flexible RG174, high-temperature RG316, and low-loss LMR100 cables. By orienting the cable exit at 90 degrees, this connector significantly reduces the depth required for the connection, preventing hazardous kinking in delicate, thin-gauge coaxial lines.

This connector utilizes a professional dual-crimp termination system. The outer ferrule provides a 360-degree mechanical bond with the cable’s shielding, while the internal center pin is precision-crimped to the conductor. Manufactured with a heavy-duty nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent electrical performance and high-strength pull-off resistance. The threaded interface provides superior mechanical stability and EMI shielding compared to BNC alternatives, making it ideal for aerospace, automotive telemetry, and industrial IoT enclosures.

Key Technical Advantages

• 90° Space-Efficient Profile: Ideal for installations where clearance is limited, such as internal chassis mounts and compact radio housings, by eliminating the need for wide cable bend radii.

• Micro-Diameter Precision Match: Specifically calibrated for the 2.5mm OD cable family, ensuring an optimized electrical transition and preventing mechanical stress on thin-gauge dielectrics.

• Vibration-Proof Threaded Interface: The 7/16-28 threaded mechanism prevents accidental disconnection and signal intermittent issues, making it the preferred choice for high-shock environments.

   

• High-Frequency Stability: Engineered to maintain low VSWR and consistent 50-Ohm impedance up to 11 GHz, supporting modern GPS, telemetry, and wireless data links.

• Rugged Mechanical Bond: Despite the small cable size, the crimp ferrule provides exceptional pull-off resistance, protecting the termination during installation and maintenance.
