Straight N Female Clamp/Solder Coaxial Cable Connector

Straight N Female Clamp/Solder Coaxial Cable Connector – High-Performance RF Solution for Professional Applications

Engineered for precision and durability, the Straight N Female Clamp/Solder Coaxial Cable Connector delivers exceptional signal integrity across a broad spectrum of radio frequency (RF) environments. Whether deployed in telecommunications infrastructure, broadcast systems, or laboratory test setups, this connector ensures reliable, low-loss performance from DC up to 11 GHz—making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations. Designed with versatility in mind, it supports two secure termination methods: clamp-style assembly for quick field connections and solder-based termination for permanent, high-stability applications.

This N-type female coaxial interface is widely adopted in professional RF engineering due to its robust threaded coupling mechanism, which provides superior mechanical stability and environmental protection. The connector’s construction includes corrosion-resistant materials and an integrated rubber o-ring seal that enhances weather resistance, allowing safe use in harsh conditions such as high humidity, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to UV radiation. Its compatibility with both 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm impedance standards makes it adaptable to diverse communication protocols, including Wi-Fi networks, cellular base stations, satellite links, and antenna feed systems.

Key Features:

• Wide operating frequency range: DC to 11 GHz or higher depending on model
• Two installation options: clamp or solder termination for flexible deployment
• Weatherproof design with integrated sealing ring for outdoor reliability
• Female N-type interface for secure, repeatable mating with male counterparts
• Low VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) performance for minimal signal reflection
• Compatible with RG-58, RG-59, RG-6, LMR-200, and similar coaxial cable types

The connector's internal center pin geometry differentiates between 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm variants—a pointed tip indicates 50 Ohm, while a rounded center conductor corresponds to 75 Ohm. This distinction is crucial for maintaining optimal impedance matching in video distribution, cable TV, and wireless data transmission systems. The durable brass body and nickel-plated finish ensure long-term conductivity and resistance to oxidation, even under continuous operation in demanding industrial settings.

Commonly found in professional-grade antenna installations, microwave links, and test and measurement equipment, this N female connector serves as a critical component in modern RF infrastructure. It facilitates seamless integration between transmitters, receivers, amplifiers, and antennas in telecom towers, broadcast studios, and military communication units. Additionally, it supports modular system design in IoT deployments, where stable connectivity is essential for remote monitoring and control applications.

Users consistently praise the connector for its ease of installation, consistent electrical performance, and resilience over time. Many engineers report improved signal consistency after switching from cheaper alternatives, particularly in high-frequency scenarios where phase stability matters. Field technicians appreciate the dual-option termination method—it allows rapid repairs without requiring soldering tools, while still offering the option to solder for mission-critical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is an N Connector? An N connector is a type of threaded RF Coaxial Connector known for its rugged build and excellent performance at high frequencies. It’s widely used in wireless communications and RF testing environments.

Where are N connectors typically used? They’re commonly found in cellular base stations, broadcast antennas, radar systems, and laboratory instruments like spectrum analyzers and signal generators.

Are N connectors waterproof? Yes, male N connectors include a rubber O-ring that creates a sealed connection, making them suitable for outdoor and wet environments when properly mated.

How do I identify 50 Ohm vs. 75 Ohm N connectors? Look at the center pin: a sharp, pointed tip indicates 50 Ohm, while a rounded or blunt center contact signifies 75 Ohm—critical for avoiding mismatches in video or broadband systems.
