Product details

The Amphenol RF 172132-BC is an N-type jack (female socket) rated for 50 Ohm systems with a max operating frequency of 11 GHz. It's a single-port, panel-mount bulkhead connector with a front-side nut — meaning it installs from the outside of the enclosure, which is the typical arrangement for an antenna feed-through or test equipment front panel.

Cable Fit and Termination — What Crimps On

This jack is listed for RG-55, RG-142, RG-223, and RG-400 cables. That covers the common double-shielded and low-loss types used in test leads and short jumper assemblies. If you're on the floor and need to know whether it fits RG-58 — the cable group listed here does not include RG-58, so the crimp barrel dimensions won't match. Stick with the listed group for a proper crimp and consistent 50 Ohm impedance through the joint.

Rated for 500 mating cycles. That's a solid number for a threaded N-type connector — the coupling nut wears with each mate, and 500 cycles is about what you'd expect from a connector that gets swapped a few times a year in a test setup or field-deployed antenna line. If this is going into a permanent installation that gets mated once, the 500-cycle rating is more than adequate; if it's on a daily-use test port, you'll get years of service before the threads start to feel loose.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 172132-BC?

172132-BC is sourced to order through independent distribution.

Is 172132-BC compatible with RG-142 cable?

Yes, RG-142 is one of the cable types listed for this connector, along with RG-55, RG-223, and RG-400. The crimp dimensions are set for those cable diameters.

What is the mating cycle rating of 172132-BC?

Rated for 500 mating cycles. The gold-plated center contact supports consistent performance across that cycle life.
