RF connector touts high performance

The RF Connectors Division of RF Industries has released an improved N male connector for high-performance .400 inch diameter cables. Part number RFN-1006-I-WB features white bronze plating for a non-tarnish finish with enhanced electrical performance. These connectors are typically installed at remote sites exposed to the environment.

The plating is ferrous metal free, which reduces inter-modulation interference. A ridged back end provides better sealing for the heat shrink boot included with the connector. A combination hex/knurl coupling nut allows for wrench or finger mating. The connector may be attached to multiple brands of high-performance cables including Times LMR-400, Andrew CNT-400, CommScope WBC-400 and Belden RF-400.

The connector is assembled with industry standard crimp tools with .429 inch and .118 inch hex dies. The contact design includes a "weep hole" for optional solder installation.

The RFN-1006-I-WB part is priced at $7.13 in quantities of 1-24, $5.38 in quantities of 25-99, $4.88 in quantities of 100-499 and $3.98 in quantities of 500-999 and $3.76 in quantities of 1,000.
