N Type Jack, 50 Ohm, DC–6 GHz — Bulkhead Kit for RG174-Class Cables
The 082-6093-RFX: The connector ships as a complete mounting kit — six pieces in the bag: the jack body, one crimp contact, a ferrule, a panel gasket, a lockwasher, and a hex nut. That means no separate hardware sourcing for the bulkhead install; the gasket and lockwasher are already in the pack. The 50 Ohm impedance is maintained through a PTFE dielectric and a gold-plated brass/phosphor bronze center contact. Insertion loss is spec'd at 0.15 dB — a tight number that tells you the interface and dielectric are well-matched through the rated band. The 1500 V voltage rating is a dielectric-withstand figure for the air gap and PTFE, not a continuous operating line; in practice the system voltage is limited by the cable and the 6 GHz frequency ceiling.
Cable Fit and Termination — RG174 and Its Siblings
The cable group list — RG-174, 188, 188A, 316, LMR-100, M17/119-RG174 — all share a similar dielectric diameter and braid coverage, so the same crimp ferrule and center contact work across them. If you are building an RG174 patch lead, this is the correct N Type jack for the job. The crimp termination (center contact and shield) is standard for field-terminated coax: strip to the right dimensions, slide the ferrule, crimp the center pin, then crimp the ferrule over the braid. No solder, no tape. The threaded fastening (N Type interface) and the bulkhead front-side nut mounting mean the jack is torqued against the panel from the outside. The included gasket seals the panel interface, and the lockwasher prevents the nut from backing off under vibration. The weatherproof ingress protection rating confirms it is suited for outdoor or tower-top enclosures where moisture ingress is a concern.
500 Mating Cycles — Field-Service Grade
The 500-cycle mating life is typical for a gold-plated N Type interface. The gold on the center contact (24) handles repeated connect-disconnect without the galling or oxidation you would see on tin-plated RF connectors. For a bulkhead-mounted jack that gets mated and unmated during installation, test, and occasional service, 500 cycles is ample — the connector will outlast the cable assembly in most field deployments.
