TNC

TNC (Threaded Neill-Concelman) connectors offer high-performance connections for demanding applications in the radio frequency (RF) industry.

TNC connectors were originally developed for aircraft and missile applications where extreme vibration is a factor. TNC connectors are of miniature size like the BNC connector but feature a threaded coupling nut for application requiring performance through 11GHz. Chosen for their durability and reliability, TNC connectors are widely used in the cellular/mobile communication industry for equipment cabling and antenna interfaces.

Applications for TNC Connectors:

Telecommunications: Connecting equipment in telecommunications networks, such as base stations and antennas.
Aerospace and Defense: Used in various aerospace and defense applications, including radar systems and communication equipment.
Medical Devices: Found in medical equipment, such as MRI machines and patient monitoring systems.
Instrumentation: Used in various instrumentation applications, such as oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers.
Industrial Automation: Employed in various industrial automation applications, such as robotic systems and control equipment.

Main Features:

Durable Design: The rugged construction and threaded coupling mechanism ensure a secure and reliable connection, even in harsh environments and high-vibration situations.
Excellent Performance: TNC connectors offer low insertion loss and high return loss, making them ideal for high-frequency applications.
Wide Frequency Range: These connectors can handle frequencies from DC to 11 GHz, making them suitable for various RF systems.
Compact Size: With a diameter of 7mm, TNC connectors are slightly larger than SMA connectors, but still offer a compact solution for space-constrained applications.
Variety of Configurations: Available in various configurations, including straight, right-angle, bulkhead, and panel mount, TNC connectors can be adapted to diverse needs.
