Type-N Characteristics
With Type-N connector, the shoulder position of the male contact pin (not the
position of the tip) defines the position of the center conductor. The male
contact pin slides into the female contact fingers; the inside surfaces of the tip
of the female contact fingers on the sides of the male contact pin provide
electrical contact.
Type-N connectors differ from most connector types in that the outer
conductor mating plane is offset from the mating plane of the center
conductor (see
). The outer conductor in the male
connector extends in front of the shoulder of the male contact pin. When you
make a connection, this outer conductor fits into a recess in the female outer
conductor behind the plane defined by the tip of the female contact fingers.
