2.4mm Male Straight RF Connector – Fits CRE086 Coaxial Cable

2.4mm Male Straight RF Connector – Cable Mount, Model 2.4-J086-2

The 2.4 mm male straight cable-mount RF connector, model 2.4-J086-2, is optimized for semi-rigid assemblies using the CRE086 semi-rigid coaxial cable. Operating from DC to 50 GHz with a 50 Ω impedance, VSWR ≤ 1.2, and insertion loss ≤ 0.06 √f dB, it ensures reliable signal integrity and low reflection in microwave network analysis and defense test platforms. See the 2.4 mm connector family for additional high-frequency interfaces.

Electrical Precision and Frequency Stability

The 2.4-J086-2 connector provides consistent impedance and excellent broadband performance up to 50 GHz. Its precision interface minimizes mismatch loss, enabling accurate amplitude and phase measurement in critical test and measurement systems.

Material Construction and Mechanical Reliability

Machined from stainless steel and fitted with a gold-plated beryllium-copper center contact, the 2.4-J086-2 guarantees long-term corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance. Its robust design supports repeated mating cycles and maintains low return loss under vibration and thermal stress. Explore more in RF connectors.

Cable Integration and Strain Relief

The cable-mount design provides firm mechanical support and precise dielectric centering during solder termination, ensuring secure integration with semi-rigid cables. Strain relief elements protect the shield and dielectric, extending connector lifespan in demanding environments. View additional options under cable-mount connectors.
