TNC RF Connectors for Defense, Aerospace & Telecom

A TNC RF Connector is a threaded coaxial connector for RF connectivity where the coupling needs to stay tight if the equipment vibrates or moves. This collection includes male and female parts, reverse-polarity versions, cable-mount clamps and crimps, and panel or bulkhead mounts. Published tables commonly state 50 ohm impedance, with brass nickel-plated bodies, gold-plated center contacts, and PTFE insulation on many listings. Frequency is listed per product, including DC to 3 GHz, DC to 6 GHz, and other maxima, so confirm the product page. Match the part to the coax on RF cable solutions.

TNC RF Connectors for Telecommunications & Wireless Equipment

The TNC RF Connector range includes straight and right-angle bodies for telecommunications, antennas, radio, and wireless equipment. Male and female interfaces are both listed, including bulkhead and 4-hole flange parts for a panel. One published description calls the interface a threaded form of the BNC connector. Dielectric withstanding voltage is printed on some listings and not on others, so that figure stays on the product page. For the wider catalog, see RF connector products.

TNC Crimp Connectors for Coaxial Cable

A TNC Crimp Connector attaches the connector to coaxial cable with a crimp termination. Published crimp parts include straight and right-angle males, female crimps, reverse-polarity crimps, and a bulkhead crimp. Cable names on those titles include RG58, RG174, RG316, and LMR200. Some crimp tables also show a solder field or a mounting type that does not match the title, so read the termination row before ordering.

TNC Cable Connectors and Specifications

A TNC Cable Connector is the cable-mount form used to terminate coaxial cable on a threaded TNC interface. Clamp listings name cables such as RG58, RG59, LMR300, LMR400, LMR600, and 1/2 inch flex. Crimp listings add RG174, RG316, LMR200, and RG141. A straight male clamp for RG58 and RG59 states 50 ohm impedance and an 18 GHz maximum on that table, while other cable parts are specified at 6 GHz or DC to 3 GHz. When the run should arrive already terminated, review RF cable assemblies.

• Threaded TNC interface in male, female, and reverse-polarity forms.
• Clamp and crimp cable termination, including straight and right-angle bodies.
• Panel, bulkhead, and 4-hole flange mounting on published listings.
• 50 ohm impedance stated on the tables reviewed.
• Brass bodies with nickel plating, gold-plated center contacts, and PTFE insulation on many listings.
• Uses named in published TNC material include telecommunications, antennas, radio, and wireless equipment.

Choosing the Right TNC Connector

Start with gender and whether the part is standard TNC or reverse polarity. Then match the cable name on the listing to the coax you are terminating. A TNC Crimp Connector fits when the attachment method is crimp. A TNC Cable Connector fits when the part mounts on the cable end rather than on a panel. Read frequency and dielectric withstanding voltage on that product, because those fields change from one listing to the next. If the other end of the run uses a different series, see RF adapters.
