In critical radio frequency (RF) applications demanding a blend of secure coupling, medium-frequency performance, and high-temperature tolerance, our TNC Female Connector Cable Assemblies featuring RG316 Coaxial Cable are the premier choice. These assemblies leverage the dependable threaded interface of the TNC (Threaded Neill–Concelman) connector, combined with the rugged, high-performance characteristics of RG316 cable, to deliver stable, consistent signal transmission in challenging environments.
Key Product Features and Technical Specifications
Engineered for precision and resilience, these cable assemblies offer compelling technical advantages over common alternatives. The combination of the TNC interface and RG316 cable ensures a robust electrical and mechanical connection suitable for professional-grade equipment.
TNC Connector Excellence and Stability
The TNC Female connector (or jack) is an essential component in medium-sized RF systems, offering a secure, threaded coupling mechanism that is superior to the BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman) connector, especially in high-vibration environments. The threading guarantees constant impedance (50-ohm) and minimizes mechanical decoupling or intermittent signal loss. Electrically, TNC connectors perform reliably up to approximately 11 GHz, making them ideal for a vast range of applications spanning VHF, UHF, and the lower microwave bands. Our connectors are constructed from durable materials, typically brass with nickel or stainless-steel bodies, and feature gold-plated center contacts to ensure maximum conductivity, minimal signal reflection (low VSWR), and excellent corrosion resistance.
The Rugged Performance of RG316 Cable
The core strength of this assembly lies in the RG316 coaxial cable. This cable is specifically chosen for its exceptional properties in applications where size and environmental durability are key. RG316 is characterized by its use of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for the dielectric and the jacket. This material provides superior resistance to extreme temperatures, often operating reliably from -55°C up to +200°C.
The small diameter and inherent flexibility of the RG316 allow for easy routing within complex and compact equipment enclosures, yet it maintains high tensile strength and longevity. Crucially, the cable features a silver-plated copper-clad steel conductor and a silver-plated copper shield, which collectively offer excellent shielding effectiveness and low loss for a cable of its size, particularly in the lower gigahertz range. This combination of ruggedness and electrical stability ensures long-term, high-quality performance even when exposed to high heat, chemicals, or abrasive motion.
Precision Manufacturing and Reliability
Every TNC Female with RG316 cable assembly is manufactured using controlled, repeatable processes. This includes precise cable stripping, soldering the center conductor, and crimping the ferrule over the shield. The goal is to ensure a continuous 50ohm impedance match across the entire assembly. Each unit undergoes stringent testing, including dimensional checks, electrical continuity testing, and often detailed RF sweeps for Insertion Loss and Return Loss performance. This meticulous assembly process guarantees minimal signal degradation, translating directly to improved system sensitivity and reliable data transfer.
