Crimp N-type Connector for RG‑58 Cable, No name, model N-G/ZAC.RG-58

The Crimp N-type Connector for RG‑58 Cable (model N-G/ZAC.RG-58) by No name is a crimp-style RF connector intended for terminating RG‑58 (50 Ω) coaxial cable. It provides a threaded N-type interface suitable for radio, antenna and RF equipment, creating a solid electrical contact and mechanical connection between the cable and N-type jack. The connector is designed for field or workshop termination where a reliable 50 Ω connection is required.

Advantages

This crimp N-type connector offers a robust threaded coupling and a consistent 50 Ω impedance match for RG‑58 cable, helping to minimise signal reflections. Its crimp termination provides a repeatable mechanical crimp that secures the cable shield and centre conductor. The connector is compatible with standard RG‑58 outer diameter and dielectric dimensions, enabling straightforward installation with common crimp tools and appropriate dies.

Suitable for

• Terminating RG‑58 coaxial cable runs in radio and RF installations
• Connecting antennas, transceivers and RF test equipment with N-type jacks
• Field repairs and on-site cable assemblies requiring threaded RF connectors

Key specifications

• Connector type: N-type, threaded coupling
• Termination method: crimp
• Impedance: 50 Ω
• Cable compatibility: RG‑58 (standard dimensions for centre conductor and dielectric)
• Typical use: RF and antenna connections for VHF/UHF and similar frequency ranges

How to use

Prepare the RG‑58 cable by stripping the outer jacket, exposing the braid and trimming the dielectric to the specified length for this connector type. Insert the centre conductor into the pin and assemble the connector parts according to the manufacturer's mechanical fit: slide the ferrule over the braid, seat the centre contact, then push the connector body over the dielectric until it seats firmly. Crimp the ferrule with the appropriate die for the connector size to secure the braid. After crimping, check the mechanical tension and continuity with a multimeter or RF tester to verify correct assembly and continuity of centre conductor and shield.

Usage recommendations

Use a calibrated crimp tool and the correct ferrule die to ensure consistent crimps and reliable RF performance. Inspect each termination for stray braid strands that could short the centre conductor, and verify impedance continuity with a network or continuity tester before permanent installation.
