TS9 M CRIMP for LMR100/RG174/RG316 Cable

Description

The TS9 series is a widely utilized subminiature RF interface specifically designed for the consumer and industrial mobile broadband markets. This male (plug) variant is optimized for micro-diameter cables, including the low-loss LMR100, flexible RG174, and high-temperature RG316. Its straight configuration is ideal for direct cable assemblies where vertical space is not a constraint, providing a streamlined and lightweight connection for portable RF equipment.

This connector utilizes a professional crimp termination system for the outer ferrule and a precision solder contact for the center conductor, ensuring a secure mechanical bond and consistent electrical performance. The TS9’s push-on coupling mechanism provides a quick and easy connection without the need for threading, which is essential for the delicate ports found on mobile broadband devices. Manufactured with a gold-plated center contact and a durable nickel-plated brass body, it ensures reliable signal transmission and protects against oxidation over repeated mating cycles.

Key Technical Advantages

• Micro-Cable Precision Fit: Specifically calibrated for the dimensions of LMR100, RG174, and RG316 (approx. 2.5mm–2.8mm OD), ensuring an optimized electrical transition and high pull-off resistance.

• Rapid Push-On Integration: The threadless design facilitates quick “plug-and-play” connectivity, making it ideal for consumer-level antenna upgrades and high-speed field testing.

• Consistent 50-Ohm Performance: Engineered to maintain impedance stability across standard cellular and Wi-Fi frequency bands, preventing signal loss and reflections.

• Lightweight & Compact: The subminiature footprint allows for easy integration into handheld devices and compact enclosures where space and weight are critical factors.

• Reliable Signal Integrity: Features high-grade PTFE (Teflon) insulation and gold plating to minimize insertion loss and maintain low contact resistance over time.
