what is an n type connector?

N-type connector

N Type  connector is a connector for coaxial cables. It has a threaded connection structure and can be rotated and locked. It is one of the first connectors that can be used to transmit microwave frequency signals, and was invented by Paul Neill of Bell Laboratories in the 1940s and named after Neill’s initials. The signal frequency range supported by the N-type connector is 0 to 11GHz, and the enhanced type can reach 18GHz. There are two types of characteristic impedance, 50 ohms and 75 ohms.

N-type connectors have the characteristics of high reliability, strong vibration resistance, excellent mechanical and electrical performance, etc., and are widely used in radio equipment and instruments under vibration and harsh environmental conditions, as well as ground transmission systems to connect radio frequency coaxial cables.

 

Among them, 50-ohm N-type connectors are widely used in mobile communications, wireless data, paging systems, etc. 75-ohm N-type connectors are mainly used in cable TV systems, and 75-ohm N-type connectors have a smaller inner conductor diameter. The connector is not compatible.
