N-Type connectors are rugged, medium-sized coaxial connectors designed for frequencies up to 11 GHz (standard) or 18 GHz (precision versions). Developed in the 1940s by Paul Neill, these threaded connectors offer excellent durability and weather resistance. Widely used in telecommunications, aerospace, and test equipment, N-Type connectors provide reliable performance with 50Ω impedance, handling power levels up to 500W. Their robust construction makes them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Category Insights

Standard N-Type connectors perform reliably up to 11 GHz, while precision versions (like 18 GHz N-Type) extend this range to 18 GHz. Their air-spaced design minimizes dielectric loss, making them suitable for cellular base stations, microwave links, and radar systems. For higher frequencies, consider SMA or 2.92mm connectors.
Yes, N-Type connectors feature excellent weather resistance. The threaded coupling mechanism combined with silicone rubber gaskets in many models provides IP67-rated protection. This makes them ideal for outdoor installations like cell towers, broadcast antennas, and military field equipment exposed to harsh environments.
50Ω versions are standard for RF applications (telecom, radar), while 75Ω types are used in video/broadcast systems. They're not interchangeable - the center pin diameter differs (50Ω: 2.9mm, 75Ω: 1.3mm). Always verify impedance requirements for your specific application to prevent signal reflections.
While both are threaded, N-Type offers:
  • Higher frequency range (11GHz vs 4GHz)
  • Better power handling
  • More common in infrastructure applications: TNC connectors are preferred where vibration resistance is critical, as their finer threads maintain better contact under mechanical stress.
N-Type connectors are widely used in:
  • Cellular base station antennas
  • Microwave communication links
  • Satellite ground stations
  • Military and aerospace systems
  • RF test equipment: WiFi access points (especially high-power models)
Their combination of durability, performance, and cost-effectiveness makes them one of the most versatile RF connector types.
