SC
SC

 

SC connector is a medium size connector with silver plated contacts and nickel center. This connector is a threaded version of the C connector. It has all of the same electrical features with an addition of rigidity and stability, and it is used in severe environments, predominantly vibration and shock.

 

SV Microwave has SC connectors also available in other finishes such as silver with gold plated center contacts. SC connectors have constant 50 Ohms impedance and are manufactured to meet MIL-C-39012 category D, Specification sheets 35 trough 43, meeting all of the mechanical and electrical requirements of the Limited Co-ordination Specification (LC Spec.) as generated by the U.S. Air Force. 

 

MIL qualified per M39012 provides consistent performance and dependability
