RF Coax Connectors
N Series Connectors
Catalog 1307191
Revised 10-00
The AMP N Connector, fea-
turing a 15.88 [5/8] - 24
threaded coupling for opti-
mum stability, is highly suit-
ed for critical applications
and environments. This
medium sized connector
can withstand shock and
vibration to assure a low
noise level and has a con-
stant impedance of 50
ohms. It also features a
captive center contact and
provides excellent perfor-
mance at frequencies up to
11 GHz, with voltages to
1000 volts rms.
This AMP connector offers
the added benefits of low
overall applied cost with a
labor-saving two-crimp
assembly. The contact is
simply crimped to the cable’s
center conductor, then both
braid and cable support are
simultaneously crimped to
complete the termination.
N Series Connectors are
available in standard plug,
jack, panel jack, bulkhead
jack and right-angle plug
configurations. Those
connectors with a military
designation (M39012) are
furnished in accordance with
all requirements of specifica-
tion MIL-C-39012, Class II,
Category B.
