Avoid Signal Interruptions With N-Type Connectors Designed To Withstand Harsh Conditions

Amphenol RF is pleased to expand our 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 interconnect 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 and 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 through 165° Celsius.

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