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

Description

The UHF series (PL-259) is a rugged and versatile RF interface widely utilized in HF and VHF communication. This specialized Right Angle (RA) variant is designed to address the challenges of confined spaces where a straight connector would lead to excessive depth or hazardous cable kinking. By orienting the cable exit at 90 degrees to the mating interface, it allows for a low-profile installation that maintains the mechanical integrity of the cable and protects the dielectric from stress-induced signal loss.

Optimized for the 5mm (0.195″) cable class, this connector provides a precision fit for flexible RG58, high-temperature RG142, and low-loss LMR195/LMR200 cables. It utilizes a professional crimp termination system for the outer ferrule, ensuring a 360-degree mechanical bond with the cable braid. The connector features an integrated high-conductivity center pin to ensure a reliable electrical path when mating with standard SO-239 jacks. Manufactured with a nickel-plated brass body and premium dielectric insulation, it is built to endure the high vibration and thermal shifts common in automotive and maritime environments.

Key Technical Advantages

• 90° Space-Efficient Profile: Significantly reduces the clearance required behind radio panels and equipment racks, preventing signal degradation caused by exceeding the cable’s minimum bend radius.

• 5mm Cable Precision Match: Specifically calibrated for the dimensions of the RG58/LMR200 cable family, ensuring an optimized electrical transition and high pull-off resistance.

• Rugged Dual-Bond Termination: Combines a secure hex-crimp ferrule for the ground path with a stable center pin connection, essential for maintaining signal continuity in mobile applications.

• High Power & Voltage Handling: Capable of managing the power levels typical of VHF/UHF mobile transceivers and amateur radio equipment without dielectric failure.

• Industrial Grade Durability: The heavy-duty nickel-plated brass construction provides excellent resistance to oxidation and mechanical wear over repeated mating cycles.
