The conversion type is between series, so this is not a simple gender-changer — it transitions between two distinct connector families. The body is machined from stainless steel, providing mechanical strength and corrosion resistance for field-deployed cable assemblies. The dielectric is PTFE, the standard choice for maintaining consistent characteristic impedance and low insertion loss through the RF path. Both ends use threaded coupling, which gives a vibration-resistant connection — important when the adapter is part of a cable run subject to movement or equipment shock. The adapter is free-hanging (in-line), meaning it has no panel-mount flange and is intended to be spliced into a coaxial cable assembly. ## What It Connects: SMA and TNC Interfaces The convert-from end is a TNC plug with a male pin. The convert-to end is an SMA plug with a male pin. This means the adapter accepts a TNC jack (female) on one side and an SMA jack (female) on the other. It is compatible with standard SMA connectors — any SMA jack with a female center contact will mate directly with the SMA plug end. Similarly, any standard TNC jack will mate with the TNC plug end. The OSM designation in the adapter series is an older name for what is now universally called the SMA connector interface. The two are mechanically identical, so this adapter works with any standard SMA connector.","metaTitle":"TE 1059169-1 OSM to TNC Adapter, SMA Plug to TNC Plug","metaDescription":"TE 1059169-1 between-series RF adapter: OSM (SMA) plug to TNC plug, male pins both ends.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["RF / Coaxial Connectors"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Style":"Straight","Series":"-","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Includes":"-","Impedance":"-","Body Finish":"-","Adapter Type":"Plug to Plug","Body Material":"Stainless Steel","Center Gender":"Male to Male","Mating Cycles":"-","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Adapter Series":"OSM to TNC","Fastening Type":"Threaded, Threaded","Insertion Loss":"-","Product Status":"Active","Conversion Type":"Between Series","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Mounting Feature":"-","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"1059","Dielectric Material":"Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)","Operating Temperature":"-","Center Contact Plating":"Gold","Center Contact Material":"Beryllium Copper","Convert To (Adapter End)":"SMA Plug, Male Pin","Convert From (Adapter End)":"TNC Plug, Male Pin"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.0000","stockQuantity":34,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/b26ef59ee4b3e5e6d4f8b105e4f13ff6.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the 1059169-1 adapter used for?","answer":"The 1059169-1 is a between-series RF adapter that connects a TNC jack to an SMA jack.
