N-type connectors and cable assemblies

PCB jacks are available in straight and angled through-hole versions, or as four-hole flanged panel connectors with round post or solder cup.

Cable-end versions (pictured right) are available loose for field assembly, or pre-assembled onto cables (including N-type to SMA adaptors, picture below), and there are coax bulkhead types.

“The coax connectors are suitable for use outdoors or in harsh environments like those in radio base stations, signal distributors, GPS systems or ship antennas – just the application for which the N-type was thought to have been originally developed,” said Wurth.

Both the screw connections of the through-hole jacks as well as those for mounting packages are available to protection class IP67. Through-hole contacts are gold-plated for enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard tin-plated connectors, and the centre contact is gold-plated phosphor-bronze.

Assembled cables including double-shielded ‘Low Loss 195’ and ‘Low Loss 200’, which are compatible with LMR195/200 or CFD195/200.

RG316 cable with FEP sheathing is resistant to oil, chemicals and weathering, said the company, and can be used at -55 to +165°C.

Both the IP67 and RG178 bulkhead jack are also suitable for microcoaxial cables (1.3, 1.32 and 1.37).
