Overview
The 1.6/5.6 connector series is a compact European design optimized for high-density installations, making it well-suited for applications where space is limited,such as RF/microwave test benches and calibration equipment and TV and radio transmission systems. Designed to operate at 75 ohms up to 1 GHz, this series is available in two coupling styles: threaded for secure, reliable mating, and push-pull for fast, convenient connections.
The 1.6/5.6 series meets multiple international standards, including DIN 47295, DIN 41626, DIN 47297, NFC 93-569, NFC 93-570, IEC 169-13, and CECC 22230.

FAQ
Sample Delivery Time
Regular models require 15 days, while some complex connectors require 25 days.
Sample Fee
Most RF connectors are CNC-machined parts and do not require mold-making.
However, each part needs to be fine-tuned on the CNC machine. Typically, a single sample costs $200.
This fee will be refunded after a 5K bulk order.
Guarantee
Brass RF connectors come with a one-year warranty.
Stainless steel connectors come with a three-year warranty.
The lifespan also depends on the contact material beryllium contacts offer better durability.
ROHS & REACH Compliance
Our products fully comply with ROHS & REACH regulations.
Does LENORF Offer Military-Grade Products?
Yes. We are honored to provide military-grade products with exceptionally stable quality.

Body: Brass, stainless steel
Insulator: PTFE, PEEK
Contacts: Brass, phosphor bronze, beryllium copper
Other: Aluminum, titanium alloy
Can RF connectors be reused?
Yes, but performance degrades with wear. Precision connectors (used in test equipment) should be handled carefully—damage to threads or pins increases VSWR and insertion loss.
What’s the difference between threaded, bayonet, and push-on RF connectors?
Threaded (SMA, N, TNC): Secure, vibration-resistant. Bayonet (BNC): Quick connect/disconnect. Push-on (MCX, SMP): Ultra-fast, compact, used in high-density modules.
Are RF connectors interchangeable between brands?
Yes, if they follow the same standard (e.g., SMA-to-SMA). However, tolerances, plating, and dielectric quality vary — mixing low-quality and precision connectors can damage equipment.
How do environmental conditions affect RF connectors?
Temperature extremes can cause expansion/shrinkage and change performance. Humidity and salt spray may cause corrosion (use stainless steel or weatherproof designs). Vibration may loosen bayonet types — use threaded connectors in harsh environments.
