EZ-195-NMH-X

Amphenol Times Microwave EZ-195-NMH-X N-Male (Plug), Straight

EZ-195-NMH-X Connector is a high-performance N-Male (plug) connector specifically designed for terminating LMR-195 and similar flexible low-loss coaxial cable. While part of the EZ line, the ‘H’ suffix denotes a specialized version requiring hand soldering of the center pin, offering installers who prefer this traditional method a secure, high-integrity connection. The N-Type interface is widely respected for its ruggedness and superior performance up to 11 GHz.

Key Features & Advantages

• N-Type Interface: Features the robust, medium-sized N-connector, known for its rugged mechanical stability and excellent electrical performance at higher frequencies (up to 11 GHz).
• Hand Solder Center Pin: This version is designed for installers who prefer or are required to solder the center pin to the cable’s inner conductor, ensuring maximum mechanical and electrical contact integrity.
• Crimp Outer Contact: Features a standard crimp connection for the outer ferrule, ensuring a secure grip on the cable jacket and braid.
• Optimal RF Performance: Delivers superior electrical characteristics, including low insertion loss and excellent VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) across the operating frequency range.
• Durable Construction: Built with a rugged brass body and nickel plating for maximum corrosion resistance, suitable for harsh outdoor and demanding industrial environments.

Detailed Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

The high-frequency performance and durability of the N-Type interface make the EZ-195-NMH-X crucial for:

• Fixed Wireless & Broadband: Connecting base stations, high-gain antennas, and repeaters.
• Military & Aerospace: Used in robust communication systems requiring reliable, high-power handling connections.
• Instrumentation: Connecting sensitive test and measurement equipment where signal integrity is paramount.
• Outdoor Installations: Its robust, threaded coupling is highly resistant to vibration and environmental ingress.

Installation & Recommended Tooling

Installation of the EZ-195-NMH-X requires precision tools for both the soldering and the crimping steps:

• Crimping Tool: The required hex die size (typically .213″ HEX) must be used to ensure a uniform crimp on the ferrule.
• Cable Prep Tool: A dedicated LMR-195 strip tool (e.g., CST-195/200) is essential for accurate conductor preparation.
• Soldering Equipment: Requires a fine-tip soldering iron and high-quality solder for securing the center pin to the inner conductor.
