RP TNC Coax Connectors and Adapters

If you need dependable, threaded RF connectors for your communication, testing, or wireless projects, TNC connectors are the go-to solution. Known for their durability and superior performance at high frequencies, TNC connectors (short for "Threaded Neill–Concelman") are widely used in both commercial and industrial applications. This collection features a wide selection of TNC connector types, including male and female versions, TNC adapters, and TNC plugs to help you build or repair coaxial cable assemblies with ease.

What Is a TNC Connector?

A TNC connector is a threaded version of the BNC connector. It features a screw-on interface that provides superior vibration resistance and consistent impedance. This makes it an ideal solution for environments where durability and signal integrity are crucial - such as in cellular, GPS, RF test equipment, and WiFi antennas. The threaded coupling ensures a secure fit that won’t come loose, even in mobile or outdoor use cases.

Available in 50-ohm and 75-ohm variants, TNC connectors are suitable for frequencies up to 11 GHz (or higher for precision models). Whether you're working with RG-58, RG-174, or other coax types, there's a TNC version to match your cable and application needs.

Types of TNC Connectors You’ll Find Here

• TNC male connectors – Features an external thread with a center pin.
• TNC female connectors – Accepts the male pin and has internal threads for a secure lock.
• Right-angle TNC plugs – Great for tight spaces where straight connectors won't fit.
• Panel-mount and bulkhead styles – Designed for fixed installations on enclosures or PCBs.
• TNC adapters – Including SMA to TNC, BNC to TNC, and TNC to N-type for flexible conversion.

Common Applications for TNC Connectors

TNC connectors are frequently used in RF applications that demand durability and precision. These include:

• Wi-Fi routers and antennas
• Test and measurement equipment
• GPS devices and receivers
• RFID systems
• Military-grade communication systems
• Instrumentation and medical devices

Because of their threaded interface, TNCs are better suited for outdoor or mobile applications than standard BNC connectors, which rely on a bayonet coupling.
