N-Female (Jack) Crimp Connector for LMR-240 (EZ-240-NF-X)
EZ-240-NF-X Connector is a high-performance N-Type Female (jack) connector specifically designed for quick, reliable termination of LMR-240 and similar flexible low-loss coaxial cable. As a part of the revolutionary EZ-Fit series, this connector provides the superior signal integrity and ruggedness of the N-Type interface, combined with the convenience of solderless installation. It is the ideal choice for creating durable, low-loss cable assemblies for systems operating up to 11 GHz.
Key Features & Advantages
- Optimized for LMR-240: Perfectly matched to the larger diameter and low-loss characteristics of LMR-240 cable, offering better performance and power handling than LMR-195 solutions.
- EZ-Fit™ Solderless Technology: Features a cutting-edge spring-finger inner contact that eliminates the need for soldering the center pin, significantly reducing installation time and minimizing field errors associated with heat or poor solder joints.
- 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 11 GHz.
- Standard Female Interface: Provides the N-Female connection point for terminating the end of a cable, typically used for extension cables or connecting to N-Male equipment ports.
- Crimp Outer Contact: Ensures a strong, mechanical and electrical grip on the cable braid, contributing to the assembly’s overall durability and RF performance.
