Product Description
Product Description
The Type N Female to UHF Male (PL-259) Coaxial Adapter provides a convenient connection between radio equipment equipped with a 50-ohm Type N male interface and standard Type N Male coaxial cables. It combines the high-frequency performance and weather-resistant threaded interface of a Type N Female connector with the widely used UHF/PL-259 male connection.
Designed for RF, amateur radio, GMRS, antenna, and communications applications, this adapter offers a practical solution for connecting equipment with different coaxial connector standards. The Type N side provides a true 50-ohm interface for low-reflection RF performance, while the UHF female side is well suited for lower-frequency HF and VHF applications.
Specifications

Typical Frequency Range: DC–300 MHz (UHF)
Typical Frequency Range: DC–11 GHz (Type N)
Key Features
- Configuration: Type N Female to UHF Male (PL-259) Adapter
- Impedance: 50-Ohm Type N Interface
- Threading: 5/8"-24 UNEF - For both UHF and Type N conenctors
- Frequency Range: DC up to ~ 11 GHz
- Best Suited for Lower-Frequency UHF Performance — The SO-239 side is commonly used from DC through approximately 300 MHz, with performance becoming less ideal as frequency increases.
- Rugged RF Construction — Typically manufactured with a nickel-plated brass body, plated contacts, and a high-quality dielectric insulator.
- Quality Insulation — PTFE or comparable high-grade dielectric materials provide reliable electrical isolation and durability.
- Threaded, Secure Connection — Both interfaces use threaded coupling mechanisms for a positive mechanical connection.
- Versatile Applications — Ideal for amateur/ham radio, GMRS base stations, mobile radio setups, antennas, RF equipment, and communications systems.
- Practical Connector Conversion — Provides an easy way to integrate equipment using different RF connector standards without replacing existing coaxial cables.
Typical Applications
- Radio equipment
- GMRS base and mobile radio systems
- RF and antenna installations
- HF and lower-VHF applications
- Broadcast and communications equipment
- Antenna feedlines and coaxial cable assemblies
- Connecting Type N equipment to PL-259/UHF coaxial cables
