Amphenol RF TNC TNC Connectors Description (R) Developed in the late 1950's, the TNC stands for Threaded Neill Concelman and is named after Amphenol engineer Carl Concelman. Designed as a threaded version of the BNC, the TNC series features screw threads for mating. TNC connectors are miniature, threaded weatherproof units with a constant 50 impedance, operating from DC - 11 GHz. There are two types of TNC connectors: Standard and Reverse Polarity. Reverse polarity is a keying system accomplished with a reverse interface, and ensures that reverse polarity interface connectors do not mate with standard interface connectors. Amphenol accomplishes this by inserting female contacts into plugs and male contacts into jacks. Other manufacturers may use reverse threading to accomplish reverse polarity keying. Amphenol's commercial grade connector offering carries the part number designation "RFX" for easy recognition. These low-cost connectors typically utilize die cast and molded components. While performance will not be equal to the industrial or military grade products, these connectors are ideal for use on a variety of commercial applications. Features/Benefits * Threaded coupling interface ensures connector will not de-couple in vibration-intensive applications. * Available in both standard and reverse polarity interfaces. * Performance from DC - 11 GHz operations in many applications. Applications * Antennas * Base Stations * Cable Assemblies * Cellular * Instrumentation * Mil-Aero * WLAN Networks * Radar * Telecom * RFID Readers 122 TNC Amphenol(R) RF: 800-627-7100 TNC Standard TNC Specifications Electrical Impedance Frequency range VSWR RF-leakage Voltage rating (at sea level) Contact resistance Insulation resistance Insertion loss maximum Dielectric withstanding voltage Mechanical Mating Coupling torque, min./max.
