R143082000 TNC Straight Plug Crimp Type C Coaxial Connector: The Ultimate RF Connectivity Solution

In the demanding world of radio frequency (RF) and microwave systems, the R143082000 TNC straight plug crimp-type coaxial connector from Radiall USA, Inc. stands as a benchmark for reliability and performance. Engineered to meet rigorous industry standards, this connector delivers exceptional signal integrity for frequencies up to 11 GHz, making it indispensable for critical applications across telecommunications, defense, and industrial sectors.

In-Depth Technical Specifications

Superior Electrical Performance

• Impedance: 50 Ohm ( 1%) for minimal signal reflection
• Frequency Range: DC to 11 GHz with <1.3 VSWR
• Insertion Loss: 0.3 dB at 6 GHz, 0.5 dB at 11 GHz
• Dielectric Withstanding Voltage: 1500 V RMS

Robust Mechanical Design

• Body Material: Nickel-plated brass for corrosion resistance
• Center Contact: Gold-plated brass (0.0013" min thickness)
• Coupling Mechanism: Threaded TNC interface (5/8-24 UNEF thread)
• Durability: 500 mating cycles minimum

Advanced Features Explained

1. Precision Crimp Termination System

The R143082000 utilizes dual crimp technology for both center conductor and shield:

1. Center Conductor Crimp: Precision hex crimp ensures gas-tight connection
2. Shield Crimp: 360 circumferential compression for superior EMI shielding

This eliminates cold solder joints and provides better mechanical stability than solder-type connectors.

2. Broad Cable Compatibility

Specifically engineered for:

• RG-58: 0.116" center conductor, 0.195" dielectric diameter
• RG-141: 0.089" center conductor, 0.190" dielectric diameter
• Also compatible with most 50 Ohm cables with 0.085-0.125" center conductors

Industry-Specific Applications

Military/Aerospace

• MIL-STD-348 compliant for defense systems
• Ideal for airborne radar (2-18 GHz systems)
• Secure communications in vibration-intensive environments

Telecommunications

• 5G small cell backhaul connections
• Microwave radio links (6-11 GHz bands)
• Base station antenna interfaces

Test & Measurement

• Vector network analyzer interfaces
• High-frequency test jigs
• Automated test equipment (ATE) systems
