Times Microwave Systems TC-195-TM-X TNC Plug, Straight, Solder Pin Connector
TC-195-TM-X Connector is a high-performance TNC Male (plug) connector specifically engineered for rapid, reliable termination of LMR-195 and similar flexible low-loss coaxial cable. This connector is an excellent choice for applications requiring a threaded, medium-sized connector known for superior electrical performance up to 6 GHz. It simplifies installation while providing the high-quality connection demanded by professional RF systems.
Key Features & Advantages
- TNC Threaded Interface: Features the robust threaded coupling mechanism, providing a secure, vibration-resistant connection superior to the BNC bayonet in many environments.
- Solderless Installation: Utilizes a unique internal contact method (often a spring-finger design, though specific details vary by series) that eliminates the need for soldering the center pin. This drastically reduces installation time and field errors.
- Optimal RF Performance: Delivers superior electrical characteristics, including low insertion loss and an optimal VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) up to 6 GHz.
- Crimp Outer Contact: Features a standard crimp method for the ferrule, ensuring a strong, secure mechanical and electrical grip on the cable braid.
- Durable Construction: Built with high-quality brass and finished with nickel plating for excellent wear and corrosion resistance, suitable for professional indoor and light outdoor use.
