Amphenol's TNC connectors, like the 031-2318-RFX, are miniature, threaded, weatherproof units developed in the late 1950s. Designed as a threaded version of the BNC, they feature screw threads for mating and maintain a constant 50Ω impedance, suitable for DC to 11 GHz applications. These connectors are ideal for commercial applications where cost-effectiveness is important, offering a balance between performance and affordability. They are commonly used in antennas, base stations, cable assemblies, cellular networks, instrumentation, and more.
