TNC-FEMALE JACK CRIMP/REVERSE POLARITY EZ-240-TF-RP-X
EZ-240-TF-RP-X Connector is a high-performance Reverse Polarity TNC Female (Jack) connector specifically designed for the rapid, reliable termination of LMR-240 and similar flexible low-loss coaxial cable. As a key component of the revolutionary EZ-Fit series, this connector is widely used in WLAN, wireless, and industrial applications that require a non-standard polarity connection. It offers the high-reliability of a threaded TNC interface combined with the speed of solderless installation.
Key Features & Advantages
- Reverse Polarity (RP) TNC: Features a female body with a male center pin (or the inverse of standard TNC), which is critical for complying with specific regulatory requirements (like FCC regulations for Wi-Fi) to prevent improper mating.
- LMR-240 Optimized: Precisely matched to the electrical and physical requirements of LMR-240 coaxial cable, ensuring low insertion loss and excellent VSWR performance up to 6 GHz.
- EZ-Fit Solderless Technology: Features a cutting-edge spring-finger inner contact that securely connects to the center conductor without soldering. This significantly reduces installation time (often under 30 seconds) and minimizes field errors.
- No Braid Trim Design: The connector’s design simplifies cable preparation by eliminating the braid trim step, guaranteeing a consistent, optimal termination geometry.
- Superior Plating: Utilizes Alballoy (White Bronze) plating for the body and Gold plating on the center pin, offering market-leading corrosion/salt fog resistance and enhanced mate/de-mate life.
