N Female Crimp RF Coaxial Connectors 50 ohm for RG58 LMR195 RG142 RG400 Low Loss Coax Cable

An N female crimp RF coaxial connector is a high-performance connector designed for terminating smaller-diameter coaxial cables. This connector provides a durable and reliable female socket that can be mounted on panels or used as an inline adapter. Its crimp termination method makes it a popular choice for fast and secure cable assembly.

An N female connector is a threaded, 50-ohm RF connector known for its superior performance at high frequencies. Unlike the UHF connector, the N connector has a constant impedance design, which minimizes signal loss and reflection. The “female” gender means it has a central receptacle that accepts a male N connector’s pin. The crimp termination method involves a metal ferrule that is compressed onto the cable’s braided shield and jacket, creating a strong mechanical and electrical bond.

This type of connector is compatible with cables that have an outer diameter of approximately 5mm, including:

RG-58: A widely used, flexible coaxial cable.
LMR-195: A low-loss cable, often used for Wi-Fi and mobile applications.
RG-142 and RG-400: These are durable, high-temperature cables with silver-plated shields.
RG-303: Another high-temperature, low-loss cable.

Technical Specification

Impedance: 50 ohms.
Frequency Range: Typically performs well from DC to 11 GHz, with some models rated even higher.
Working Voltage: Can handle a maximum working voltage of up to 1000V RMS.
Materials: High-quality connectors are typically made from a nickel-plated brass body, a gold-plated brass center contact, and a PTFE (Teflon) insulator.
Weatherproofing: N connectors have a threaded coupling that provides a good weather-resistant seal. This makes them ideal for outdoor and demanding environments, a key advantage over UHF connectors.
