RF Coaxial Connector Torque Specifications
Properly torqueing of threaded RF coaxial connectors is essential for reliable, maximum performance interfaces. It not only ensures that the initial contact is proper, it also protects against changes in geometry during handling and operational environment conditions.

These values were originally pulled from Agilent's calibrated torque wrench page, but it has disappeared. Additional information gathered from other online sources such as the Huber+Suhner and Radiall websites. Torque values can vary considerably between vendors. 1 lb-in = 11.30 N-cm Fairview Microwave sells calibrated torque wrenches. |
