Threaded N-Type connectors deliver 6 GHz performance in 165 °C operating environments

July 1, 2025 By Redding Traiger Leave a Comment

Amphenol RF expands its portfolio of extreme exposure solutions with the addition of new N-Type cable mount connector configurations. These N-Type plugs are now available for LMR 195, 200, and 600 cable types, providing more design flexibility for harsh environment applications.

Extreme exposure RF interconnects are engineered with a unique, chromium-free tin-nickel alloy plating that offers an added layer of protection, ensuring reliable RF performance in challenging conditions. This alternate plating makes them well-suited for marine environments, telecommunications, wireless infrastructure, and military applications. Extreme exposure connectors are designed for enhanced durability, featuring secure threaded mating and are IP67 rated. These plugs deliver high-frequency performance for up to 720 hours of direct exposure to salt spray. They are manufactured with brass bodies and gold-plated beryllium copper contacts. The body, ferrule, coupling nut, and retaining ring all feature the alternate tin-nickel alloy plating. Extreme exposure N-Type plugs operate up to 6 GHz and are capable of withstanding high operating temperatures up to 165° Celsius.

These connectors join a growing line of rugged RF solutions manufactured to withstand moisture, salt, and mechanical stress without compromising signal integrity.
