Specifications
RCA MALE Connector
Misc Family
This connector type includes specialized or application-specific RF connectors designed for particular equipment or industries. These may include 2.4mm, 2.92mm (K), 1.85mm (V), SMP, SSMP, or proprietary interface types used in precision microwave measurement, defense electronics, and specialized RF subsystems.
Typical Applications
RF cable assemblies, antenna connections, test equipment patching, and field installations.
Gender & Polarity Note
Check the product datasheet for gender and polarity details. RF connectors are available in male (pin), female (socket), and reverse-polarity (RP) variants.

Frequently Asked Questions
What frequency range does the RCA MALE connector support?
Misc connectors are rated DC – 3 GHz. The effective upper frequency of a cable assembly is limited by the lowest-rated component — either the cable or the connector. Always verify both are within spec for your target frequency.
How many times can a Misc connector be mated and unmated?
RCA MALE connectors are rated for approximately 500 mating cycles. Exceeding this can cause wear on the contact surfaces, increasing insertion loss and VSWR. For applications with very frequent connects and disconnects, consider a connector rated for higher cycle counts.
What torque should I use to tighten a Misc connector?
Use a torque wrench and follow the connector manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Hand-tight plus a quarter turn is a safe starting point for most push-on connectors.
Are the Misc connectors on CoaxRF assemblies weatherproof?
Our standard cable assemblies use high-quality connectors suitable for most indoor and sheltered outdoor applications. For fully weatherproof outdoor installations, we recommend applying self-amalgamating tape over the connector junction to prevent moisture ingress.
Do CoaxRF cables with RCA MALE connectors ship assembled and tested?
Yes. Every cable assembly — including those terminated with RCA MALE connectors — is hand-assembled and continuity tested before shipping. Cables ship free within the US from our US facility.
