TNC M RP CRIMP for LMR100/RG174/RG316 Cable

Description

The RP-TNC (Reverse Polarity TNC) series is a specialized variation of the TNC interface, commonly utilized in wireless networking to comply with regulatory standards for non-standard antenna connectors. In this Male (Plug) configuration, the connector maintains standard TNC male threads but features a female center socket instead of a pin. This variant is specifically optimized for the 2.5mm (0.100″) sub-miniature cable class, providing a precision termination for flexible RG174, high-temperature RG316, and low-loss LMR100 cables.

This connector utilizes a professional dual-crimp termination system. The outer ferrule creates a 360-degree mechanical bond with the cable’s braid, while the internal socket is crimped to the center conductor to ensure high-conductivity signal transfer. Manufactured with a nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent electrical performance and stable impedance up to 6 GHz. The threaded interface provides superior mechanical stability and EMI shielding compared to bayonet-style connectors, making it ideal for industrial and mobile wireless applications.

Key Technical Advantages

• Reverse Polarity Compliance: Designed specifically for Wi-Fi and WLAN equipment requiring RP-TNC interfaces, ensuring a seamless fit with commercial routers and wireless modules.

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

• Vibration-Proof Threaded Coupling: The 7/16-28 threaded mechanism prevents signal intermittent issues and accidental disconnection in high-vibration or high-shock environments.

• Rugged Mechanical Bond: The hex-crimp ferrule provides exceptional pull-off resistance, ensuring the cable remains securely attached even in tight-clearance pigtail assemblies.

• Superior Environmental Durability: The nickel-plated brass construction and PTFE dielectric offer excellent resistance to thermal cycling and oxidation, maintaining contact integrity over time.
