75 Ohm F-Type Jack for CATV and Satellite IF Distribution
The 75 Ohm impedance and 3 GHz maximum frequency define the usable signal path: this jack handles the full downstream cable spectrum and the L-band IF from an LNB. Tin plating on the centre contact keeps cost down but limits the mating cycle life to 150 cycles — this jack is best suited for semi-permanent installations where the cable is connected once and left, rather than for test ports or field-swapped drops. The threaded fastening provides a vibration-resistant mate that won't loosen from cable movement.
Panel Mount with Right-Angle Solder Tails
Mounting is through a bulkhead cutout, secured by the front-side nut, with the right-angle solder tails routing the signal trace parallel to the PCB. The right-angle orientation lets the board sit flush against the chassis wall, saving depth in a shallow enclosure. PTFE dielectric won't degrade from repeated thermal cycling, and the brass body resists corrosion in humid environments.
