NEX10 Connector Plug Soldering For RG402 .141 Cable

Overview

The NEX10 connector is a next-generation 50 Ohm RF interface developed for 5G, small-cell, and high-density telecom applications that demand outstanding electrical performance in a compact, low-PIM design. Created jointly by industry leaders (Rosenberger, Huber+Suhner, Radiall), NEX10 combines excellent intermodulation performance (PIM < -166 dBc) with superior RF performance up to 20 GHz. Its robust, screw- or push-pull-locking mechanism ensures reliable mating even in high-vibration environments, while the separation of electrical and mechanical contact minimizes wear and guarantees long-term stability. Designed for outdoor and indoor use, NEX10 connectors deliver weather-sealed, IP68-rated protection and low VSWR. Compact, lightweight, and optimized for small-cell radio units, DAS systems, and 5G antenna infrastructure, the NEX10 series provides high performance in a miniaturized footprint without compromising signal integrity.

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.

MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)

Regular connectors: 500 PCS

Adapters: 100 PCS

Military connectors: 100 PCS

Can RF connectors be adapted from one type to another?

Yes, RF adapters (e.g., SMA-to-N, BNC-to-TNC) exist. But:Each adapter adds insertion loss and possible VSWR increase.Avoid stacking multiple adapters in sensitive applications.

Materials

Common materials include:

Body: Brass, stainless steel

Insulator: PTFE, PEEK

Contacts: Brass, phosphor bronze, beryllium copper

Other: Aluminum, titanium alloy

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.
