About Times Microwave

Times Microwave Systems, a division of Amphenol, leads the RF connectivity industry with military-grade coaxial solutions. For over 70 years, their products have set benchmarks for signal integrity in extreme environments through rigorous MIL-SPEC testing and innovative design.

As a trusted partner for aerospace, defense, and telecom sectors, Times Microwave combines patented cable technologies with precision connectors to minimize VSWR and passive intermodulation. Their TC-series connectors are globally recognized for consistent performance in mission-critical applications.

About RF Coaxial Connectors

RF coaxial connectors maintain signal integrity by precisely controlling impedance across interconnected systems. They prevent electromagnetic interference through concentric conductor design and robust shielding, essential for high-frequency transmission where signal loss degrades performance.

In wireless infrastructure, test instrumentation, and radar systems, properly specified connectors like SMA types ensure phase stability and power handling. Selection criteria include frequency range, mating cycles, environmental sealing, and compatibility with cable dielectric properties – all critical for maintaining system VSWR below 1.5:1.
