7/16
Features & Benefits Low IMD and VSWR Self-flaring design ensures ease of installation Pre-assembled gasket protects against dust (P68) and water (IP68) per IEC 169. Limited internal junctions reduce sources of IMD. Silver-plated contacts and silver or white bronze-plated bodies deliver a high conductivity and corrosion resistance for a long, trouble-free life. Easy-Hex coupling nut allows tightening by hand or with a standard wrench for ease of mating.
