The following is a list of radio frequency connector types.

Standard types

Standard-sized

A double DIN 1.6/5.6 bulkhead jack connector, crimp type, for 75 Ω coaxial cable
A Type N connector (male), right-angled solder-type for semi-rigid coaxial cable with a diameter of 0.141 inch
  • 4.3-10 connector, a new proprietary connector not to be confused with DIN 4.3/10 one
  • Belling-Lee connector, also called IEC 169-2 connector, used throughout Europe and Australia for domestic television and FM radio antenna cabling
  • BNC connector (Bayonet Neill-Concelman)
  • C-type connector (Concelman)
  • Dezifix connector, hermaphrodite connector used mainly by Rohde & Schwarz
  • DIN 7/16 connector (DIN 47223), a high-power 50 Ω connector originally developed by Spinner[1]
  • F-type connector, used for domestic television installations and domestic satellite LNBs (75 Ω) worldwide with the exception of Europe and Australia
  • GR connector (officially the General Radio Type 874)
  • Motorola connector, standard AM/FM antenna connector used for automotive radios
  • Musa connector, a 50 Ω connector used in telecommunications and broadcast video
  • N connector (Neill)
  • NMO mount connector (new Motorola mount), removable mobile antenna connector uses a 3⁄4 inch (19 mm) mounting hole and has a large base with a 1 1/8" - 18 tpi thread for attaching the antenna.
  • SC connector, screw version of C connector [not to be confused with the fiber optic connector of the same name]
  • SR connector (from Russian: Cоединитель Pадиочастотный) is a Russian RF connector, based on the BNC connector and which comes in a 50 Ω and 75 Ω versions
  • TNC connector (threaded Neill-Concelman)
  • Twin-BNC (Twinax) connector with impedance 78 Ω or 95 Ω
  • UHF connector (e.g., PL-259/SO-239). Also referred to as an M-type connector by Japanese manufacturers such as Kenwood

Miniature-sized

Micro-sized

Precision types

Flanged types

  • EIA RF Connectors series of flanged connectors, normally used in high power broadcast transmission sites with rigid lines

Quick-lock types

A Mini Quick connector, a Quick-lock type connector for coaxial cable

High-voltage types

Blind-mate types

Main article: Blind mate connector § RF

Key features of hermetic, push-on and blind-mate RF connectors are listed below:

RF Connector Name Compatibility Size Maximum Frequency Notes
Sub-Miniature Push-on (SMP) PO-compatible MIL-STD 348 compliant 26.5 GHz
Sub-Miniature Push-on Micro (SMPM) PPO-compatible MIL-STD 348 compliant 40 GHz
Sub-Miniature Push-on Sub-micro (SMPS) 3PO-compatible 65 GHz Small size makes SMPS the ideal choice for high density packaging and multiport applications
