N Male Connectors 50 ohm N Male Crimp RF Coaxial Connector N Male Plug Adapter for LMR400 Belden 9913 RG8 RF Coaxial Cable

An N Male Crimp RF Coaxial Connector is a high-quality connector used to terminate large-diameter coaxial cables. It provides a secure, reliable, and low-loss connection for a wide range of RF applications

Description

The N connector is a threaded, medium-sized RF connector known for its excellent performance up to 11 GHz or even higher, depending on the design. This specific type is a male plug, meaning it has a central pin and a threaded coupling nut. The crimp termination method uses a specialized tool to compress a metal sleeve (ferrule) onto the cable’s outer jacket and braided shield. This provides a strong mechanical and electrical connection for the shield. The center pin is typically soldered to the cable’s inner conductor.

This type of connector is designed for heavy-duty, low-loss coaxial cables with a diameter of approximately 10.3 mm. This includes cables such as LMR-400, Belden 9913, and RG-8, which are widely used in professional radio, cellular, Wi-Fi, and other high-frequency applications.

Technical Specification

Impedance: 50 ohms. The N connector has a constant impedance design, which is crucial for minimizing signal loss at high frequencies.
Frequency Range: Performs well from DC to 11 GHz, with some precision versions rated up to 18 GHz.
Power Handling: These connectors are capable of handling significant power levels, especially at lower frequencies.
Materials: Typically made from nickel-plated brass, with a gold-plated brass center pin and a PTFE (Teflon) insulator.
Weatherproofing: The threaded coupling provides a good seal, making the N connector more resistant to the elements than other types. For a fully waterproof connection, a weatherproofing kit or sealant is recommended.
