1. RG316: The High-Temperature Workhorse
Unlike standard PVC cables, RG316 is constructed entirely with FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene), commonly known as Teflon.
Extreme Thermal Stability: Rated to withstand temperatures up to +200°C without melting or degrading, making it ideal for engine compartments or high-power RF applications.
Low Loss & Flexibility: Despite its thin profile (1.98mm OD), RG316 provides excellent flexibility for tight routing and superior signal integrity at frequencies up to 3 GHz.
2. UHF SO239 Female Chassis Bulkhead Connector
The SO239 is the female counterpart to the classic PL-259 connector.
Secure Panel Mounting: Designed with a hexagonal flange and threaded barrel, it locks securely into drilled holes in metal chassis or bulkheads, providing a stable anchor point that prevents strain on the solder joints.
• Versatile Compatibility: Perfectly interfaces with any standard PL-259 male plug found on legacy radios, CB antennas, and amateur radio equipment.
3. Precision Crimp Termination
We utilize dedicated crimp dies tailored for the delicate construction of RG316 cables.
Mechanical Strength: A precision crimp ferrule secures the silver-plated braid to the connector body, ensuring zero pull-outs even under repeated flexing.
Corrosion Resistance: The use of silver-plated conductors and braids ensures low contact resistance and long-term durability in humid or corrosive environments.
Aerospace & Defense: Wiring inside aircraft avionics bays and radar systems where extreme temperature fluctuations are common.
Test & Measurement Equipment: Serving as internal or external jumpers for network analyzers and signal generators requiring panel pass-throughs.
Industrial Machinery: Connecting control modules through heavy-duty metal enclosures in high-heat manufacturing environments.
Amateur Radio & Broadcasting: Creating custom pigtail adapters for mounting HF/VHF transceivers into rack-mounted cases.
Precision Termination Process:
Laser Trimming: Ensures precise stripping of the tough FEP jacket and dielectric without nicking the fragile center conductor.
Dual Crimp Technology: We apply specific compression ratios to both the center pin and outer ferrule, guaranteeing optimal mechanical retention for RG316 cables.
100% Testing: Every single cable is tested on a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) to verify Return Loss and Insertion Loss metrics up to 3 GHz.
Traceability:
Each batch is serialized, and test data is archived to meet ISO 9001 standards, providing full traceability for your quality assurance needs.
Standard Packaging: Individually poly-bagged to prevent connector damage.
Labeling: Clear labels indicate cable type, length, and batch code.
Carton: Packed in sturdy export cartons suitable for international shipping (ISTA 3A certified).
Lead Time: Standard lead time is 7-10 working days after order confirmation.
Q1: What is the difference between an SO239 and a PL-259?
A: They are two halves of the same standard. The SO239 is the female receptacle (usually mounted on a chassis or bulkhead), while the PL-259 is the male plug (attached to the end of a cable). This product features the SO239 female chassis mount.
Q2: Why choose RG316 over RG174 for this application?
A: While both are similar in size, RG316 uses a Teflon (FEP) dielectric and jacket, whereas RG174 typically uses Polyethylene (PE) and PVC. If your application involves high temperatures (above 105°C) or requires superior chemical resistance, RG316 is the mandatory choice.
Q3: Can I get this cable with a right-angle BNC connector?
A: Yes. While the straight BNC Male is standard, we offer Right-Angle (90-degree) BNC configurations for specific panel-mounting or tight-space routing requirements. Please specify your requirement during the inquiry.
Q4: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: As an OEM manufacturer, our standard MOQ is 100 pieces. However, we offer sample pricing for prototyping and testing purposes.
This RG316 BNC to SO239 pigtail is not just a wire; it is an engineered thermal and mechanical solution. By combining the extreme heat resistance of RG316 Teflon cable with the robust locking mechanism of a chassis bulkhead connector, we deliver a product that ensures your critical RF signals remain intact, even in the most punishing operational environments.
