Product Features & Advantages

Threaded Coupling Ensures Vibration-Resistant Connection

The threaded Neill-Concelman interface offers a secure mechanical connection that can endure high-vibration situations. This design avoids inadvertent disconnection in flight instruments, automobile telematics and mobile communication systems where bayonet-style connections may fail.

Optimized Straight Design for Simplified Routing

The straight connection orientation allows easier cable installation in equipment with enough interior space. This design avoids unwanted bending stress on cables and minimises signal route loss, enhancing overall system performance in test equipment and communication infrastructure.

Premium Materials for Long-Term Reliability

Gold-plated center contact to minimise oxidation and provide low contact resistance for long service life. The exterior conductor is manufactured from nickel plated brass providing exceptional corrosion resistance and electromagnetic shielding efficacy to ensure signal integrity in tough industrial and outdoor situations.

Safety-Hole Structure for Enhanced Stability

Engineered safety hole design increases installation security and minimises loosening during operation. This feature improves dependability of the connection in situations with frequent movement of the equipment or mechanical stress.

Quality Control & Testing Standards

All batches are rigorously tested to guarantee consistent performance.

Electrical Testing: Test the dielectric withstanding voltage and insulation resistance with professional testing devices. These testing guarantee the connection satisfies the required electrical performance criteria for your important applications.

Plating Quality Inspection : Each manufacturing lot undergoes comprehensive inspections covering part dimensions, mating life, plating thickness, plating adhesion strength, salt‑spray test and other items. . This technique preserves the integrity of the protective coatings during the life of the connection in service.

Environmental Compliance: Each batch is tested to RoHS standards to ensure compliance with worldwide environmental legislation, helping you meet your sustainability needs and access global markets.
