N Type Jack for RG-316 — Sealed, 50 Ohm, 2.5 GHz
It ships as an 8-piece kit: one connector body, one contact, one ferrule, one insulator, one lockwasher, two nuts, and one rear body — everything needed to terminate one cable end. Rated 50 Ohm impedance with a 2.5 GHz max frequency and 0.15 dB insertion loss, this is a standard 50 Ohm RF interconnect for outdoor or washdown environments. The IP68 rating — dust-tight and waterproof when mated — sets it apart from standard indoor N Type connectors.
What the IP68 and 500-Cycle Ratings Mean for Field Service
IP68 means the mated assembly survives continuous immersion — this connector is built for antenna feeds on towers, outdoor base stations, or marine equipment where rain and washdown are constant. The 500 mating cycles rating tells you the contact plating (gold on the centre pin, beryllium copper and brass base) will hold up through repeated connect-disconnect events in field maintenance. The white bronze body finish on a brass shell resists corrosion in salt spray or coastal air better than bare nickel.
Termination Checklist — Crimp or Solder, RG-316 Only
Shield termination is crimp; the centre contact accepts crimp or solder. The kit is designed specifically for RG-316 double braid cable — the ferrule and rear body dimensions match that cable's jacket and braid diameter.
