TNC Series Adapters

• Straight and right-angle configurations
• With and without panel mounting features:
  Bulkhead, both front and rear mount and 4-hole flange designs
• 50-ohm with a frequency range from DC to 11 GHz
• 75-ohm with a maximum frequency of 3 GHz

In-series TNC adapters feature a TNC plug or TNC jack interface on both sides of the adapter. TNC jack to TNC jack adapters with no mounting features are sometimes referred to as TNC barrel adapters. In-series TNC adapters can be used as gender changers, converting from a plug to jack or vice versa. In production test and measurement applications, TNC adapters can also be used as connector savers where they will be mated to the minimum number of allowable cycles and replaced. This saves overall cost as expensive cable assemblies will not need to be replaced as often.

Between-series TNC adapters allow dissimilar interfaces to be connected. Amphenol RF offers between-series adapters allowing TNC interfaces to mate with AMC, BNC, FME, MCX, Mini-UHF, Type N, QMA, RP-SMA, RP-TNC, SMA, TNC and UHF coaxial interfaces. Like in-series adapters, TNC between series adapters can be used as connector savers and gender changes with the added benefit of changing the interface.

TNC tee adapters feature 3 ports and are offered as well in a variety of configurations. T-shaped adapters and Y-shaped adapters are available.
