The '''[[wikipedia:TNC_connector|TNC (Threaded Neill–Concelman) connector]]''' is a threaded version of the [[BNC connector]]. The interface specifications for the TNC and many other connectors are referenced in MIL-STD-348. The connector has a 50 Ω impedance and operates best in the 0–11 GHz frequency spectrum. It has better performance than the [[BNC connector]] at microwave frequencies. Invented in the late 1950s and named after [[wikipedia:Paul Neill|Paul Neill]] of [[wikipedia:Bell Labs|Bell Labs]] and [[wikipedia:Carl Concelman|Carl Concelman]] of [[wikipedia:Amphenol|Amphenol]], the TNC connector has been employed in a wide range of radio and wired applications. | |||
