What types of compression seal connectors are available?
Pacer Group offers RCA series, BNC series, and female compression seal connectors. This is done so that the majority of applications that require compression seal connectors are covered. Each of these types of connectors is designed for use with either a specific type of cable or application. Below we will take a brief look at each of the different types of compression seal connectors that we offer.
RCA connectors

RCA compression seal connectors for RG59 and LMR-240 are used for audio and video hook up and are designed for either indoor or outdoor use. As single piece connectors, RCA series compression seal connectors make installation of RG59 and LMR-240 cables go quickly. More than that, the fact that they are a single piece connector means the job will be much easier. Some connectors require several pieces, soldering, etc., but not these. The RCA compression seal connectors for RG59 and LMR-240 are designed to make installation a breeze.
BNC connectors

BNC connectors are often referred to as connect-tight or connecttight connectors. They are known for their twist type connection method and snug-fitting. BNC connectors work best with a cable diameter of 0.240” making them ideal for use with RG6, RG59, and LMR-240. These connectors are commonly used with two-way communications, WLAN connections, and CB radio. Their annealed brass bodies and anti-corrosion nickel plating ensure high conductivity and longevity in tough environments.
Female compression connectors

Female compression seal connectors are often chosen for their simple twist on method making them a secure solution even in environments where vibration and flux are issues. They are for use RG6, RG59, and LMR-240 coax cable making them ideal for a wide range of applications. The colored lower portion of the body indicates the cable type that these connectors are to be used with. If the lower portion is blue, then they are for use with RG6. If, on the other hand, the lower portion of the connector body is orange then they are designed for use with RG59 and LMR-240
What separates compression seal connectors from other types of connectors?
The major distinction between compression seal connectors and other types of connectors is that compression seal connectors create that permanent 360° seal we mentioned earlier. This permanent seal is of higher durability than that of an average connector type. Compression seal connectors also require specific tools in order to be properly applied to a cable.

What tools should I use with compression seal connectors?

Many of our compression seal connectors are perfect for use with our VTCL-4080 compression tool. Just as the name implies, this tool is ideal for use with compression seal connectors and offers the exact amount of crimp pressure every time. This ratcheting one-hand tool has an adjustment knob so that multiple connectors can be used in quick succession. The best part about this tool is its durable design making it ideal for field service.
What advantages do compression seal connectors offer?
Compression seal connectors offer a permanent connection solution for a wide range of applications. They are known for their longevity and durability making them ideal for use in marine environments. Aside from their permanent connection, longevity, and durability in tough environments, compression seal connectors are additionally known for their versatility. These factors combine to create a trusted solution for radio frequency connection issues.
