N-Type Panel Receptacle for 11 GHz RF Paths
The 082-6303: The 1500 V voltage rating reflects the air-gap and creepage distances in the N-type shell geometry, not the signal level on a typical RF line; it means the connector can handle high-power RF without flashover. Mounting is via a flange with four holes — the connector bolts to a panel or bulkhead, and the threaded coupling nut on the mating plug locks with a standard N-type wrench. A gasket is included in the package, which, combined with the weatherproof ingress protection, makes this suited for outdoor enclosures or antenna mounts where moisture ingress would degrade the signal path.
RF Performance and Material Choices
The dielectric is PTFE, the standard low-loss material for RF connectors up through Ku-band — its stable dielectric constant keeps the 50 Ohm impedance consistent across the rated frequency range. The shield termination is solder — the braid or foil of the coax cable is soldered to the body, giving a continuous ground path that preserves the impedance through the transition. The extended insulation increases creepage distance for the 1500 V rating.
