Description

N-type panel-mount connectors are rugged, high-frequency coaxial connectors designed for secure, vibration-resistant installations in telecom, aerospace, defense, and industrial equipment. Below is a detailed breakdown of their features, types, and applications. 1. Key Features of N-Type Panel Connectors ✔ Threaded Coupling (5/8"-24 UNEF) – Ensures a secure, vibration-proof connection. ✔ Frequency Range – DC to 11 GHz (precision models up to 18 GHz). ✔ Impedance – 50Ω (standard) or 75Ω (video/broadcast). ✔ Power Handling – Up to 500W average (depends on model). ✔ Environmental Sealing – IP67/IP68 options for harsh conditions. ✔ Mounting Styles: Flange Mount – Bolt-on for chassis/panels. Bulkhead Mount – Threaded nut for thin panels. PCB Mount – For direct RF board integration. 2. Types of N-Type Panel Connectors A) Standard N Panel Jack (Female) Example: Amphenol RF 82-202 (Nickel-plated, 11 GHz). Use Case: Telecom base stations, RF test equipment. B) Low-PIM N Panel Jack (For 5G/DAS) PIM Rating: <-155 dBc (critical for LTE/5G). Example: Rosenberger 32K101-40ML5 (Gold-plated, 18 GHz). C) Waterproof IP67 N Panel Connector Example: Huber+Suhner N-50-4-14/133_NE (Stainless steel). Use Case: Outdoor RRUs, marine radar. D) 75Ω N Panel Jack (Broadcast) Example: Kings 2062-1-75 (For CATV/SDI video). Use Case: Broadcast antennas, legacy telecom. E) High-Temperature N Panel Jack Example: TE Connectivity 5-1634509-8 (Up to 175°C). Use Case: Engine bays, avionics.
