TNC Plug to UHF Socket Adaptor Converts TNC-Terminated Cables to UHF PL259/SO239 Connections

Product Overview

The GME AD407 is a coaxial RF connector adaptor that converts a male TNC plug to a female UHF socket (SO239). It allows equipment or cables terminated with a TNC connector to be connected to a UHF SO239 radio socket or a PL259 plug to pass through to equipment with a TNC input bridging the two connector types without requiring re-termination of the cable.

Features & Benefits

  • TNC plug to UHF socket — male TNC on one end connects to a TNC-terminated cable; female UHF SO239 on the other end accepts a standard PL259 plug
  • Bridges TNC and UHF connector types — enables connection between equipment using TNC and equipment using the standard UHF/PL259 connector family without reterminating cables
  • Genuine GME accessory — manufacturer-supplied adaptor for use with GME and compatible equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

What are TNC and UHF connectors?

TNC (Threaded Neil-Concelman) is a threaded coaxial connector used in various RF applications including GPS antennas, some handheld radio antennas, and test equipment. It provides a more secure thread-lock connection than the BNC push-twist connector it derives from. UHF connector (also known as PL259/SO239) is the larger-body coaxial connector standard used in most Australian CB and UHF CB radio equipment — the PL259 is the male plug; the SO239 is the female socket. The AD407 bridges these two connector families.

Which end is which on this adaptor?

The TNC plug (male TNC, with an external threaded barrel) connects to the TNC side — for example, a GPS antenna or TNC-terminated cable. The UHF socket (SO239, female) accepts a standard PL259 male plug from a radio or cable assembly.

What GME equipment uses TNC connectors?

TNC connectors are found on certain GME GPS antennas, navigation accessories, and some external antenna adaptor assemblies. Confirm whether your specific GME equipment uses a TNC connector with GME or your supplier to verify the AD407 is the correct adaptor.

How does the AD407 differ from the AD007 FME adaptor?

The AD007 is an FME adaptor for GME AM/FM radios; the AD407 is a TNC to UHF socket adaptor for RF equipment. FME and TNC are completely different connector standards for different applications. They are not interchangeable.

Is this sold as a single piece?

One adaptor is included per purchase.
