FAQs
What are TNC connectors used for?
TNC connectors are used for RF, test, measurement, instrumentation, research labs, telecommunications, WiFi, cellular, antenna, amplifier testing, production testing, wireless, and military applications. Their threaded coupling design provides a secure connection suited to applications where vibration or movement could loosen a standard bayonet-style connector.
What attachment methods are available for TNC connectors?
TNC connectors are available with clamp, crimp, solder, terminator, and twist-on attachment methods. Attachment method selection depends on the installation tools available, the coax cable type being terminated, and the durability requirements of the finished connection.
What mount types are available for TNC connectors?
TNC coax cable connectors are available in bulkhead, chassis mount, 4-hole flange, and terminator form factors. Bulkhead and chassis mount versions are commonly used to pass RF connections through equipment panels or enclosures in test and communication equipment.
What coax cable types are compatible with TNC connectors?
TNC connectors support a wide variety of coaxial cable types, including LMR-100, LMR-200, LMR-240, LMR-300, LMR-400, LMR-600, LMR-400 UltraFlex, RG58, RG59, RG6, RG8, RG8X, RG174, RG188, RG141, RG142, RG213, RG223, RG303, RG316, and RG400. This broad compatibility allows engineers and procurement teams to standardize on TNC connectors across multiple coax cable types.
What frequency range and VSWR ratings do TNC connectors support?
TNC connectors are available for frequencies up to 12 GHz, with VSWR options of 1.2:1, 1.3:1, and 1.5:1. Lower VSWR values indicate better impedance matching and reduced signal reflection, which is important for maintaining signal integrity in RF test and measurement applications.
What materials and finishes are available for TNC connectors?
TNC connectors are available in bronze, beryllium copper, copper, and brass materials with gold, nickel, and silver plating or finishes. Material and finish selection can affect connector durability, conductivity, and corrosion resistance depending on the installation environment.
What temperature range can TNC connectors withstand?
TNC connectors have temperature ratings including -55 to 165 °C and -65 to 165 °C. These ratings support use in both standard indoor RF installations and more extreme environmental conditions found in outdoor, military, or industrial applications.
Need help selecting the right TNC connector for your RF application? Our technical team provides support on polarity selection (standard vs reverse), attachment method (crimp, solder, clamp, twist-on), mount type, coax cable compatibility (LMR, RG series), and impedance/frequency matching for your specific RF, test, or military application.
