TNC coaxial connector engineering reference

Family-level mechanical-coupling boundary only; exact impedance and performance remain configuration-dependent. Amphenol RF 122108 is a straight TNC plug. Its table reports brass body; nickel finish, brass contact; gold finish, cable-crimp construction; crimp contact termination, threaded coupling, 50-ohm impedance, a 11-GHz frequency ceiling and 500 minimum mating cycles. These are exact-part manufacturer specifications, not family-wide ratings or independent test results.

  • Coupling style or polarity identity does not establish cable type, impedance, frequency range or system compatibility for a specific assembly.
  • No fabrication dimensions or mating-face contact locator is published.

Unknowns stay unknown.

  • Coupling style or polarity identity does not establish cable type, impedance, frequency range or system compatibility for a specific assembly.
  • No fabrication dimensions or mating-face contact locator is published.
  • No customer drawing pixels were inspected for this supplement; no dimensions, pitch, rows, footprint or view numbering inferred.
  • Material, finish, frequency and durability values stay with this exact part and its current product-table wording.
  • No operating voltage/current, actual connection, cable preparation, hardware validation or fabrication approval is established.
  • Preserve C226G and S556/S557: current product-page PTFE conflicts with the recorded revision B drawing Delrin. This supplement chooses neither insulator and does not infer supersession.

Amphenol RF 122108 is a straight TNC plug. Its table reports brass body; nickel finish, brass contact; gold finish, cable-crimp construction; crimp contact termination, threaded coupling, 50-ohm impedance, a 11-GHz frequency ceiling and 500 minimum mating cycles. These are exact-part manufacturer specifications, not family-wide ratings or independent test results.

Claim scope: Only Amphenol RF 122108, the named straight TNC plug. No family-wide geometry, mating pair, installed-cable performance or operating approval follows.
