FME Jack for 50 Ohm RF Lines
The 081-160: The kit ships with the connector body, a gold-plated phosphor bronze contact, a crimp ferrule, and a coupling nut — four pieces total, ready for field assembly.
Impedance and Frequency Range
Rated at 50 Ohm impedance, the 081-160 is specced for signals up to 200 MHz. That frequency ceiling suits it for lower-band RF applications — think baseband video, GPS, or ISM-band telemetry — rather than high-frequency microwave links.
For a permanent-install crimp connector, 500 cycles is generous; the limiting factor will be the cable braid fatigue at the ferrule, not the contact.
What's in the Box
The 081-160 is a complete assembly kit: one FME jack body (nickel-plated brass), one gold-plated phosphor bronze center contact, one crimp ferrule for the cable braid, and one coupling nut. No separate parts to order — strip the coax, crimp the contact and ferrule, thread the nut, and you're mated.
