Amphenol RF's Expanded RP-TNC Portfolio

Amphenol RF has enhanced its offering of reverse polarity TNC (RP-TNC) connectors with new configurations tailored for micro-coaxial cable types, including 0.81 mm, 1.13 mm, 1.32 mm dual shielded, 1.37 mm, and RG-178. These connectors are designed to support frequencies up to 9 GHz, making them suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial, wireless, military, and broadband sectors.

Features and Design

The RP-TNC connectors feature a hex shaped body that allows for the use of a torque wrench during mating and unmating processes, ensuring precise and secure connections. They are constructed with nickel-plated brass bodies and gold-plated beryllium copper contacts, offering robust durability and reliable electrical performance. Utilizing a PTFE insulator, these connectors maintain the high standards of Amphenol RF’s existing RP-TNC series, providing consistent performance and durability across various environmental conditions.

Applications

Ideal for applications requiring ultra-flexible micro-coaxial cable types, these RP-TNC connectors are particularly well-suited for use in environments demanding high reliability and performance. They are commonly employed in industrial machinery, wireless communication systems, military equipment, and broadband infrastructure where stable electrical connections are critical.

Versatility and Configuration

Amphenol RF offers front mount bulkhead jack configurations, allowing secure installation inside panels or enclosures, thereby safeguarding sensitive systems from environmental factors and ensuring long-term reliability. The familiar threaded interface of RP-TNC connectors further enhances mating stability, contributing to consistent electrical performance over time.

Conclusion

These new additions to Amphenol RF’s RP-TNC portfolio expand the options available to engineers and designers, providing versatile solutions that meet diverse design requirements across vertical markets. Whether for industrial automation, military applications, wireless networks, or broadband infrastructure, Amphenol RF’s RP-TNC connectors deliver the durability, performance, and reliability expected from a trusted RF interconnect provider.
