TC-400-TM-RA-D TNC Male Right Angle Crimp/Solder Connector for LMR-400 Coaxial Cable
The TC-400-TM-RA-D is a right-angle (90°), high-performance TNC male (plug) connector designed for use with LMR-400 and comparable flexible, low-loss coaxial cables. Due to spatial limitations, this specialized connector is crucial for routing the thicker LMR-400 cable out of the equipment right away. It provides the rugged, threaded TNC interface and the superior low-loss performance required for demanding RF applications up to 6 GHz.
Key Features & Advantages
- Right-Angle Design: The 90-degree body allows the thick LMR-400 coaxial cable to route immediately parallel to the equipment surface, minimizing coaxial cable bending stress and reducing the required operational footprint.
- LMR-400 Optimized: Precisely matched to the electrical and physical requirements of LMR-400 coaxial cable, ensuring maximum signal transfer and the lowest possible signal loss.
- TNC Threaded Interface: Provides a secure, vibration-resistant threaded coupling, offering reliable performance superior to bayonet (BNC) connectors in high-vibration environments.
- Crimp Termination: Uses a traditional, proven crimp method for ferrule, ensuring a robust mechanical and electrical termination.
- High-Frequency Capability: Engineered for reliable operation up to 6 GHz, suitable for modern wireless and data systems.
