Type LC and LT - Connectors and Adapters

After looking at this page dedicated to our types LC and LT connectors, BE CERTAIN to visit our main RF connector and adapter page, here: http://www.mgs4u.com/RF-adapters.htm  Our main page has hundreds of hard to find types and combinations, including adapters for reverse polarity, GPS, and Wi-fi applications! Again, all top quality, and lowest prices!

Max-Gain Systems, Inc. is proud to offer an assortment of hard-to find types "LC" and "LT"connectors and adapters for sale.

How to identify LC vs LT connectors:


more standard LC male (on the left) next to
the less common LT male, on the right
(Click the picture to enlarge. )


more standard LC female (on the right) next to
the less common LT female, on the left
(Click the picture to enlarge. )

The most obvious difference is the diameter / thickness of the internal (white) dielectric. The diameter of the exposed dielectric of the LC male is larger than that of the LT. Samples measured .620 inches diameter for the LT male, and .680 inches diameter for the LC male. This corresponds with the opposite on the females of these types. Note the innermost shoulder of the females pictured. The left female is the LT, (internal throat diameter of .635 inches, + or - .002 inches) the right female is the LC internal throat diameter is .695 inches, + or - .002 inches) .  The external diameter and threads are the same on both types.  The LT male will screw completely into either the LT or the LC females. The larger (inside dielectric diameter) LC will NOT screw completely into an LT female, and forcing them (an LC male into an LT female)  further than the point where resistance is felt will result in damage.   For further drawings, illustrations, and information on these two types, follow this link to the Delta RF page:   http://www.deltarf.com/pdf /DeltaLC.pdf   (Don't forget to come back here to Max-Gain Systems, Inc.!)

The determining factor as to which type (LC or LT) is called for is, of course, the type coax that is being used with the male cable end. The diameter of the dielectric of the coax determines the required series. They are best suited for use with cables such as RG-17 or RG-18 which have a maximum OD of .885" and max. OD of dielectric of .695 inches ..  (use LC series), or RG-117/U and RG-118/U which have a maximum OD of .745" and max. OD of dielectric of .620 inches ..  (use LT series).

Most of these are "removed from military equipment", and therefore are top quality, mil-spec types! All are guaranteed to be in very good, serviceable condition, and are always guaranteed to your satisfaction. We offer refund or exchange (less only shipping and packing) on ALL of our connectors and adapters if not delighted, for any reason!

NOTE: Not all of these connectors / adapters are available at all times. While we do obtain them on a recurring basis, their availability should be verified before ordering.


Type LC female, chassis mount, 4 hole flange

We (usually) have a good selection of these mil-spec, silver plated, type LC female connectors for sale . These are all 4 hole chassis flange mounts, but there are two styles . . .  One style has a solder connection for the center conductor on the back, and the other style is for coaxial cable .

The cable that the military uses on these is 50 ohm, flameproof type, with silver plated, s tranded copper center conductor, Teflon dielectric, DOUBLE layer of 98% silver plated braid, and Teflon and woven fiberglass on top of that! This coax should allow you to transmit at about 20 kw while someone is blasting you with a flamethrower! Seriously, this is simply the best available . The coax diameter is "about" the same size as RG-8 .  Flanges measure 2 inches square .  Holes are 1 . 5 inches on-centers .  These are all "removed from equipment", in very good condition.

NOT ALL OF THESE ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES .  PLEASE INQUIRE BEFORE ORDERING .

Price:  

  • LC female, 4 hole flange mount, with solder connection: $25 (UG-352A/U or equiv.
  • LC female, 4 hole flange mount, with coax on rear (very short cutoff) $25
  • LC female, 4 hole mount, with coax on rear (~2 or 3 foot length of flameproof, 50 ohm coax) $29
  • Same as above, but with mil-spec type "HN" male connector on other end of coax jumper $35
  • LC male, 4 hole flange panel mount $59
  • LC female / female low pass filter, Bird model 5496A, 520 mhz cut-off, $89
  • LT right angle, M/F $29
  • LT "TEE", coaxial power splitting, Thompson model CT-8  $95

LT male to LT male coaxial jumpers

We have obtained a small supply of these hard-to-find coaxial jumpers with type LT male connectors on each end. The cable is simply marked as "Amphenol No. 421-103", which we have been unable to reference, but it should be equivalent to either types RG-117/U or RG-118/U. Length is approximately 6 feet, 5 inches tip-to-tip. The LC males are highest quality, silver plated brass mil-spec types.

Order by our stock number: CC-LT-80
Price per cable with two connectors is $69.00 (FAR less than the usual cost of a single connector!)
