Connectors from Times Microwave

Times Microwave manufacture a wide variety of connectors to meet even the most exacting electrical and mechanical requirements. Connectors include:

Low PIM Connectors

Low PIM connectors are designed specifically for application where low PIM performance is priority.

Xtended Flex

• TC-XF045-MCXM – male MCX straight connector for XF-045 coaxial cable.
• TC-178-SM-RA – SMA, male, right angle, for XF-178
• TC-178-SM – SMA, male, straight, for XF-178

InstaBend

Instabend connectors are designed to minimize footprints and save space for inside-the-box applications. Instabend cables can be bent very closely behind the connector, which eliminates the need to protect the back of the connector.

7-16

The 7-16 is a large high-power interface traditionally used in telecom applications. The 7-16 is also used in a variety of high-power applications.

Other Interfaces

Other connector interfaces include: ATNC, FME, QN, 1.0-2.3 and 4.3-10

Test and Measurement

Times Microwave Test & Measurement connectors are designed to withstand the rigors of testing. They incorporate a proprietary tall piece that deflects the strain away from the solder joint which is the most delicate part of any RF cable assembly. This results in a very stable and robust assembly.

Microwave Connectors

Small connectors designed for high frequency environments up to 60 GHz

High Power Connectors

Used in a variety of applications from military to telecom to healthcare. High Power connectors are robust and depending on the design can handle power in the kilowatt range.

SMA

Lightweight, compact, high-performance coaxial RF connectors designed with a threaded coupling.

Type-F

The type-F connector series is a durable, high-performance threaded interface primarily used for satellite and video communications. It is often used with 75 Ohm cable options.

UHF

The UHF connector is a legacy interface design that is still used extensively in public safety and laboratory environments. It is used primarily to interconnect RF components.

TNC

The TNC connector series is a medium-sized threaded weatherproof series with a contact design similar to a BNC series. It features a threaded coupling nut for secure mating and higher frequency performance than the BNC. TNC connectors are well suited for a large variety of applications.

QMA

The QMA connector is a quick disconnect version of the SMA with low RF leakage. It features a similar high-power handling capability of an SMA providing a significant advantage over other quick disconnect connectors. The QMA series offers a more convenient installation than SMA connectors, with a snap-on instead of a threaded coupling. Another benefit of eliminating the threaded coupling is the denser packaging since there is no requirement for wrench clearance.

Type-N

The Type N is a durable, weatherproof, medium-size RF connector designed for systems where excellent RF and mechanical performance is critical. They feature a threaded coupling mechanism and are fully interchangeable with N-Type connectors made to the MIL-C-39012 specification.

Mini-UHF

The Mini-UHF connectors are a miniature UHF 3/8-24 thread size, with excellent RF performance for applications where size, weight, and cost factors are critical.

TMQ4 TMQ5

TMQ4/TMQ5 bunbled solutions incorporate multiple RF ports and significantly reduce the number of cables that need to be hooked up and have an error proof keyed connection.
