RP-TNC Jack for RF Signal Paths
The 122332RP: The threaded coupling and bulkhead mounting with a rear-side nut make it a panel-mount interconnect for enclosures where a vibration-resistant, weatherproof mate is needed.
The 11 GHz frequency ceiling covers L-band through X-band applications, including Wi-Fi 6E, 5G small-cell backhaul, and satellite downlinks. Insertion loss is held to 0.18 dB across the band, which keeps the signal clean enough that you do not need to budget extra gain for the interconnect.
Threaded Coupling and Bulkhead Mount for Vibration Resistance
The threaded fastening type locks the mated pair against vibration — a standard requirement for outdoor antenna feeds, tower-mounted radios, and industrial machinery where a bayonet or snap-on connector would work loose. The bulkhead mount with a rear-side nut secures the jack to the panel face, and the shield termination is solder, so the ground path through the shell is continuous. The extended insulation feature adds creepage distance between the center conductor and the body, supporting the 500 V rating for applications where the RF line carries a DC bias or where high-voltage isolation is needed.
Solder Cup Termination — Field Termination Without a Crimp Tool
The contact termination is a solder cup, not a crimp barrel. That means you terminate the center conductor and shield by soldering directly to the cup and the body — no special crimp tool or die set required. The trade-off is that termination quality depends on soldering skill and the right flux for the coaxial cable dielectric. The dielectric material is polyoxymethylene (POM) acetal, which holds its RF properties through the soldering heat cycle and does not cold-flow under the compression of a cable clamp.
Operating Range and Material Choices
The nickel-plated brass body provides RF shielding effectiveness and corrosion resistance in humid or salt-spray environments.
