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

Description

The UHF series is a rugged and reliable RF interface, widely used for HF and VHF communication systems. This male (plug) variant is specifically optimized for the 5mm (0.195″) cable class, allowing for high-quality terminations on flexible RG58, heat-resistant RG142, and high-efficiency LMR195/LMR200 cables. This connector provides a critical bridge for technicians needing to connect low-loss 50-Ohm cables to standard amateur radio, maritime, or public safety base stations.

This connector utilizes a professional dual-crimp termination system. Because cables in this class often have stranded or thin solid conductors, this connector features an integrated gold-plated center pin (or high-conductivity silver-plated contact). This ensures a precise mechanical fit within standard SO-239 jacks, providing better electrical contact than the cable’s own conductor could. The outer ferrule creates 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).

Key Technical Advantages

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

• Integrated Center Contact: Features a precision-machined internal pin to ensure reliable mating with standard UHF female jacks, regardless of the cable’s internal conductor type.

• High-Strength Dual Crimp: Provides a permanent, vibration-proof termination that exceeds industrial pull-out standards, essential for vehicle-mounted mobile radios and outdoor antenna feeds.

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

• Industrial Durability: The nickel-plated brass construction ensures long-term protection against environmental oxidation and repeated connection cycles in the field.

Key Features

• Interface Type: UHF Male (PL-259 Plug) with standard 5/8-24 UNEF threading.

• Termination Method: Dual-Crimp (Center pin and outer ferrule) for high-reliability mechanical bonding.

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

• Premium Construction: Features a nickel-plated brass body and high-performance PTFE or specialized dielectric.

• Common Application: Mobile radio installations, cellular boosters, and VHF/UHF amateur radio antenna runs.
