Amos, thanks for joining me.Īmos(A): Yeah, thanks for asking me to join the podcast. He is the senior manager of R&D and product development engineering at TE Connectivity. Joining me for the conversation today is Amos Cheah. Today’s conversation is going to center around RF technology: what it is, common applications and major trends. We are glad to have you joining us for this episode of the program. Tyler (T): Hello, welcome to CONNECTED World, a podcast from TE Connectivity. These connectors are used in television receivers, communications, Wi-Fi devices, avionics, launch vehicles, radar arrays, satellite communications, and industrial or scientific measurement instruments that use RF. Our portfolio of RF coax connectors includes MIL-standard connectors qualified for M39012, M55339, M83517. These connectors are manufactured with crimp, solder, and clamp terminations to enable easy installation. Our RF coaxial cable connectors are engineered and are available in small sizes, with tight tolerance electrical characteristics, and in materials that are rugged but not heavy and manufactured to withstand high use in harsh environments. A coaxial cable connector has an inner conductor that is enveloped by a concentric conducting sleeve, with the conductor and shield separated by an insulating material. An RF connector is commonly used with a coaxial cable due to the shielding that the coaxial cable provides. Click here to find TNC Connectors from the leading manufacturers.RF coaxial cable connectors transmit analog signals while minimizing RF (radio frequency) signal losses. These devices are designed to work at the multi-megahertz range of radio frequency. TNC Connector Center Contact: The center contact/pin of a TNC connector is usually made of Beryllium Copper.Įverything RF has listed complete catalogs of TNC Connectors from the leading manufacturers, you can narrow down on the list of TNC Connectors based on the specs explained above. The Brass usually has a Nickel or Gold finish. TNC Connector Body: TNC connectors usually have a Brass or Stainless-Steel body. TNC connectors usually use polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), or Teflon dielectric along the mating plane. Air would be the ideal insulator however, we need some sort of material that will hold the center pin of the connector in place. The dielectric media separating the inner and outer conductors in a connector is primarily responsible for signal attenuation, insulation, and impedance of the connector. The most used mounting options are Bulkhead, Flange (4-hole, 2-hole), PCB, and Panel with other mounting options also given such as: A TNC connector should be chosen depending upon the circuit configuration and compatibility. The image below shows the two TNC connector geometries.Ī variety of TNC connector mounting options is available in the market. The geometry of the connector is based on the circuit configuration. TNC Connectors and most other RF connectors are available as straight TNC connectors or right angle TNC connectors. Similarly, RP-TNC Male connectors will have the threads on the inside, but the center male pin will be replaced with a receptacle. So, an RP-TNC Female connector will have the same external housing as a standard TNC female connector, with the threads on the outside, however, the center receptacle will be replaced by a male pin. Reverse Polarity TNC Connectors or RP-TNC are a variation of regular TNC Connector with the gender-interfaced reversed. The connector has an outer thread length of 0.378 in (9.6 mm). TNC female connectors are also called TNC Jack connectors. TNC Female/ Jack Connectors: In TNC female connectors, the center sleeve is surrounded by a barrel with threads on the outside. They have a diameter of 0.590 in (15.0 mm) and have a hex nut that can be used to tighten or loosen a connection with a torque wrench. TNC male connectors are also known as TNC Plug connectors. TNC Male/Plug Connectors: In a TNC male connector, the center pin is surrounded by a barrel with threads on the inside. TNC Connector Gender & Mechanical Specifications:
