UHF F CRIMP for RG58/RG142/LMR195/LMR200 Cable

Description

The UHF series (SO-239) is a rugged, industry-standard RF interface primarily used in HF and VHF communication systems. This female (jack) variant is specialized for the 5mm (0.195″) cable class, allowing for high-quality terminations on flexible RG58, heat-resistant RG142, and high-efficiency LMR195/LMR200 cables. It provides a reliable connection point for technicians building custom antenna distribution systems, grounding blocks, or chassis-mounted interfaces for amateur radio and maritime equipment.

This connector utilizes a professional crimp termination system. The outer ferrule provides a 360-degree mechanical bond with the cable’s outer jacket and braid, offering exceptional pull-off resistance and protecting signal integrity from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Manufactured with a nickel-plated brass body and premium dielectric insulation, it is designed for maximum durability and consistent electrical performance, even in high-vibration mobile environments or outdoor utility enclosures.

Key Technical Advantages

• 5mm Cable Precision Match: Specifically calibrated for the dimensions of RG58 and LMR195-sized cables (approx. 5mm OD), ensuring an optimized electrical transition and preventing mechanical stress on the cable dielectric.

• High-Reliability Crimp Design: Provides a permanent, vibration-proof termination that exceeds industrial pull-out standards, essential for vehicle-mounted radios and antenna backbone runs.

• Rugged Mechanical Construction: The nickel-plated brass body and threaded interface (5/8-24) ensure long-term reliability and a secure ground path to the equipment chassis.

• Versatile Interface Integration: Enables the use of low-loss 50-Ohm cables in environments dominated by UHF equipment, such as amplifiers, antenna tuners, and base station transceivers.

• Superior Environmental Resistance: The heavy-duty plating offers excellent protection against oxidation and corrosion, maintaining contact integrity over repeated mating cycles.

Key Features

• Interface Type: UHF Female (SO-239 Jack) with standard 5/8-24 UNEF threading.

• Termination Method: Crimp (utilizing an outer ferrule) for high-strength mechanical bonding.

• Cable Compatibility: Optimized for RG58, RG142, LMR195, and LMR200 coaxial cables.

• Premium Construction: Features a nickel-plated brass body and high-performance dielectric for signal stability.

• Common Application: Custom bulkhead mounting, mobile radio installations, and localized antenna patches.
