EZ-240-NMH-RA-X

Times Microwave Systems EZ-240-NMH-RA-X N-Male (Plug) Crimp Right Angle

EZ-240-NMH-RA-X Connector is a high-performance, Right-Angle (90°) N-Type Male (plug) connector specifically engineered for terminating LMR-240 and similar flexible low-loss coaxial cable. This specialized connector is critical for installations in tight spaces or crowded equipment panels, allowing the cable to exit immediately with minimal stress. It combines the superior signal integrity 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 essential for installations with limited space, effectively minimizing cable bend radius and ensuring optimal strain relief on the LMR-240 coaxial cable.
• LMR-240 Optimized: Precisely matched to the electrical and physical requirements of LMR-240 cable, ensuring low insertion loss and excellent VSWR (< 1.35 up to 6 GHz) across the operating frequency.
• EZ-Fit™ Solderless Technology: Features a Spring Finger inner contact made of Beryllium Copper (BeCu) that securely connects to the center conductor without soldering. This eliminates thermal damage and drastically speeds up field assembly.
• No Braid Trim Design: Simplifies cable preparation by eliminating the braid trim step, reducing Foreign Object Debris (FOD) and guaranteeing a consistent, optimal termination geometry.
• Durable N-Type: The medium-sized, threaded coupling mechanism is renowned for its ruggedness and superior performance, supporting applications up to 6 GHz.

Detailed Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

The Right-Angle N-Male configuration is indispensable in complex or compact RF systems utilizing LMR-240 cable:

• Rack-Mounted Systems: Connecting high-frequency equipment within server racks, allowing door closure without straining cables.
• Wireless Access Points (WAPs): Providing a professional, low-profile connection to wall- or ceiling-mounted devices.
• Test & Measurement: Creating custom jumper cables that require low-profile connections to crowded test fixtures.
• Antenna Feeders: Used in base stations and repeaters where the cable must tightly hug a chassis or mount.

Installation & Recommended Tooling

The EZ-Fit assembly requires precision tools specifically sized for the LMR-240 cable:

• Crimping Tool: The recommended hex die size (typically .255″ HEX or Times Microwave 3190-667/CT-240 tool) is mandatory for securing the ferrule.
• Cable Prep Tool: The dedicated LMR-240 strip tool (e.g., CST-240A or 3192-152) is essential for achieving the exact strip dimensions required by the solderless contact.
