Rock-Solid Connections: Your TNC Jack with Screw Lock
Forget shaky connections. The TNC standard was developed for demanding applications where absolute reliability is crucial. Thanks to the precise screw-lock mechanism, this jack sits firmly on its counterpart. This makes it the first choice for mobile installations, vehicles, or systems exposed to vibrations. Once screwed, this connection holds – no matter what.
Maximum Signal Integrity: 50 Ohm Precision up to 6 GHz
In high-frequency technology, every detail counts. This TNC jack is designed with an exact 50 Ohm impedance to minimize signal reflections (VSWR) and ensure clean transmission. Whether for WiFi in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, for 4G applications, or other radio systems up to 6 GHz – this connector ensures that your Antennas' power truly reaches the Cabling, with minimal attenuation.
Perfect Fit for H-155, RF-240, and Hyperflex 5 cables
This jack is the tailor-made connection for common low-loss Coaxial cables with an outer diameter of approximately 5.4 mm. It is the ideal TNC Jack for H-155 cables, but also fits perfectly on RF-5, LMR-240, or Hyperflex 5. The crimp sleeve is precisely matched to the Cable diameter to guarantee optimal strain relief and an electrically perfect connection of the shield.
Professional Assembly Made Easy – With the Right Tools
For a permanently reliable connection, correct assembly is crucial. As a crimp version, this jack requires appropriate Coaxial Connectors crimping pliers. This firmly and securely presses the center contact and the outer sleeve onto the Cable. The result is a professional assembly that meets the highest mechanical and electrical demands. Investing in the right tools pays off here with maximum performance.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: The screw-lock mechanism ensures an extremely vibration-proof and strain-resistant connection.
- Pro: Significantly better protected against moisture and dust than BNC connectors, therefore well-suited for outdoor use.
- Pro: Guarantees low-loss signal transmission up to 6 GHz and beyond thanks to precise manufacturing.
- Pro: The defined 50-Ohm impedance prevents signal reflections and ensures signal integrity.
- Note: Appropriate crimping pliers are absolutely necessary for professional assembly.
- Note: Screwing takes a little longer than with a bayonet lock (BNC).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need a special tool to assemble this TNC socket?
Yes, absolutely. Since it's a crimp socket, you'll need a suitable crimping tool for coaxial cables. This is the only way to ensure the connection is mechanically secure and electrically flawless, preventing signal loss.
Is this TNC socket weatherproof and can I use it outdoors?
Absolutely! TNC connectors are exceptionally well-protected against wind and weather thanks to their screw locking mechanism. For permanent outdoor installation, however, we recommend wrapping the connection with self-vulcanizing sealing tape. Better safe than sorry!
What is the difference between this TNC socket and an RP-TNC socket?
Good question! The devil is in the details, specifically in the 'polarity'. This standard TNC socket has a small hole inside for the plug's pin. An RP-TNC socket (Reverse Polarity) is exactly the opposite: it has the pin itself in the center. So, it's best to check exactly which connection your device has to ensure everything fits!
Does this socket also fit my thinner RG58 cable?
Unfortunately, no. This socket is specialized for Antenna Cables with a diameter of approx. 5.4 mm, such as H-155 or RF-240. With a thinner cable, the crimp sleeve wouldn't sit tightly enough, and you wouldn't have a secure connection. Always choose the right Coaxial Connectors for your cable.
What frequencies is this TNC socket suitable for?
You're perfectly set up there! You can easily use this socket for all common applications like WiFi (2.4 GHz Components & 5 GHz Components) or 4G. It's designed for frequencies up to at least 6 GHz and ensures super low-loss signal transmission.
Is the inner contact gold-plated and what does that do for me?
Yes, absolutely! The inner conductor is gold-plated, which is a true mark of quality. The gold coating protects against corrosion and guarantees minimal contact resistance, even after frequent reconnections. The result for you: the best possible signal quality.
