TNC Female to SMA Male Adapter

• One end has a TNC female connector and the other end has a SMA male straight connector.
• Nickel-plated brass body for enhanced corrosion resistance: Nickel plating is the most weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant metal plating.

Compatibility with wireless applications:

• All WiFi standards: 2.4GHz and 5GHz applications: 802.11AC, 802.11N, 802.11G, 802.11B, 802.11A
• Cellular Wireless LTE / 4G, GSM / 3G WiMAX: Data and voice applications
• IoT wireless, automation & Machine to Machine (M2M): Bluetooth, ZigBee, RFID, LoRa, LTE-m, NB-IoT

Our antenna cable's range of frequency band compatibility (from 0 to 18GHz), consistently low broadband VSWR, and impedance matching to 50 Ohm gear, makes it suitable and compliant for all the above applications.

ROHS & REACH compliant: All of our antenna cables and adapters are in compliance regarding content of toxic materials restricted by RoHS 3 and REACH.

TNC is a round screw-type connector, with nickel-plated brass.

• Nickel-plated brass is the best plating-alloy for corrosion-resistance.
• TNC is similar to BNC except that whereas BNC has a slotted mating collar, RP-TNC has a screw-down type connector. TNC's screw-down connector performs better than BNC in the microwave spectrum.

Adapter Composition:

• Connector Body: Nickel-plated brass: This is the most weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant plating.
• Center Contact: Beryllium Copper, Gold Plated
• Crimp Ferrule: Copper, Nickel Plated
• Insulators: PTFE
• Precision machined for low loss in ISO 9001 facilities

SMA Gender Determination: Key Point

• SMA gender is counter-intuitive: Please observe picture & note it is correct.
• The gender is referring to the pins inside-not the threads. SMA male has threads on inside.

SMA male and female diameter:

• SMA female outside diameter is 5/16" (7.9375mm): Accommodates a hex nut (bulkhead nut) with 5/16" nominal outer diameter
• SMA male inside diameter is 5/16" (7.9375mm) (the inside diameter where the threads are).

Other SMA Characteristics and Key Points

• SMA female connector is also called "jack" and SMA-male is also called "plug."
• We offer an SMA wrench to assist in installing antennas, cables and adapters with SMA or RP-SMA connector(s).
• SMA-female connector fits items that have an SMA-male connector.
• SMA is a round screw-type connector, with medium-sized, threaded coupling connectors that are rated for frequencies from the lowest (DC) up to 18GHz.
• SMA connectors are not compatible with the common, commercially available Type F coaxial connector. Type F connectors look similar but are of slightly different size and will not pair with RP-SMA connectors without an adapter.
