EZ-400-NMH-RA-X N Male Right Angle Connector

EZ-400-NMH-RA-X N Male Right Angle Crimp Connector for LMR-400 coaxial cable

EZ-400-NMH-RA-X Connector is a high-performance, Right-Angle (90°) N-Type Male (plug) connector specifically engineered for terminating LMR-400 and similar high-performance, low-loss coaxial cable. This specialized connector is essential for installations in tight spaces or crowded enclosures, allowing the thicker LMR-400 cable to exit the equipment immediately with minimal stress. It combines the ruggedness of the N-Type interface with the speed and reliability of the solderless EZ-Fit installation method.

Key Features & Advantages

• Right-Angle (RA) Design: The 90-degree body is critical for LMR-400 coaxial cable, reducing the required bend radius and minimizing cable bending stress in compact installations like equipment racks or behind wall panels.
• LMR-400 Optimized: Designed specifically for LMR-400 coaxial cable, providing significantly lower signal loss and superior handling of high-power/high-frequency signals compared to smaller cables.
• EZ-Fit Solderless Technology: Features a cutting-edge spring-finger inner contact that eliminates the need for soldering the center pin, dramatically reducing installation time (often under 60 seconds) and guaranteeing consistent, high-quality connections.
• High-Frequency N-Type: The robust, threaded N-Type interface is renowned for its durability and excellent electrical characteristics, supporting high-frequency applications up to 6 GHz.
• No Braid Trim Design: Simplifies cable preparation by eliminating the braid trim step, ensuring consistent termination geometry and reducing Foreign Object Debris (FOD).

Detailed Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

The Right-Angle N-Male configuration for LMR-400 coaxial cable is essential in professional, high-performance systems where space is limited:

• Wireless Infrastructure: Base stations, cellular repeaters, and WISP deployments requiring short cable exit profiles.
• Antenna Systems: Connecting LMR-400 jumper cables to antenna ports on radios inside crowded enclosures.
• Rack-Mounted Equipment: Used for clean cable management and strain relief within server and equipment racks.
• Military & Aerospace: Applications requiring high reliability and low loss in constrained spaces.

Installation & Recommended Tooling

To ensure the high performance of the EZ-Fit connector on LMR-400 coaxial cable, precise tooling is mandatory:

• Crimping Tool: The required hex die size (check datasheet, typically .429″ HEX or Times Microwave CT-400/300 tool) is mandatory for securing the ferrule.
• Cable Prep Tool: The dedicated LMR-400 strip tool (e.g., CST-400 or 3192-159) is essential for achieving the exact strip dimensions required by the solderless contact.
