TC-195-NMH-X

Times Microwave TC-195-NMH-X N-Male Solder Pin Connector

TC-195-NMH-X Connector is a premium N-Male (plug) connector designed for high-integrity termination of LMR-195 and similar flexible low-loss coaxial cable. This connector is specifically intended for installers who prefer or require the traditional hand-solder method for the center pin connection, ensuring maximum mechanical and electrical robustness. The N-Type interface provides reliable, high-performance connectivity, making it the superior choice for demanding applications up to 11 GHz.

Key Features & Advantages

• N-Type High Performance: Utilizes the industry-standard N-connector, renowned for its rugged mechanical stability and superior performance, supporting frequencies up to 11 GHz.
• Hand Solder Center Pin: The ‘H’ suffix denotes this version is designed for the installer to solder the center pin to the cable’s inner conductor.⁴ This method guarantees a precise, low-resistance electrical connection.
• Crimp Outer Contact: Features a reliable crimp method for securing the outer ferrule, ensuring a strong grip on the cable jacket and braid.
• Optimal RF Integrity: Engineered for excellent electrical performance, featuring low insertion loss and an optimal VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio).
• Durable Construction: Built with high-quality brass and finished with nickel plating for maximum corrosion resistance, suitable for harsh outdoor and industrial settings.

Specifications

Typical Applications

The robust N-Type interface and hand-solder reliability of the TC-195-NMH-X make it essential for:

• Fixed Wireless & Broadband: Connecting base station equipment, high-gain antennas, and repeaters.
• Test & Measurement: Creating precision jumper cables for lab environments where signal integrity is paramount.
• High-End Radio Equipment: Used in amateur radio, defense, and specialized communication systems.
• Outdoor Installations: Its weather-resistant, threaded coupling offers high reliability against environmental factors.

Installation & Recommended Tooling

Installation of the TC-195-NMH-X requires specific tools for both the preparation, soldering, and crimping steps:

• Crimping Tool: The required CT-240-200-100 Crimp Tool must be used to ensure a uniform crimp on the ferrule.
• Cable Prep Tool: A dedicated CST-195/200 is essential for accurate conductor preparation according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
• Soldering Equipment: Requires a fine-tip soldering iron and quality solder for securing the loose center pin to the inner conductor.
