RG196 Coaxial Cable M17/93 50 Ohm PFA Jacketed Miniature Coax for High Temp Applications
Product Description

RG196 M17/93-00001 is a MIL-DTL-17 compliant 50 Ohm miniature coaxial cable engineered for high-temperature applications where space is at a premium. This precision transmission line features a 7/0.10mm silver-plated copper-covered steel (SCCS) stranded conductor and PTFE dielectric, delivering stable electrical performance through 3 GHz. The PFA jacket provides superior thermal resistance up to 230°C while maintaining excellent flexibility, and the single silver-plated copper braid offers effective EMI shielding. With an ultra-compact 1.8mm outer diameter and 10mm minimum bend radius, RG196 is the preferred choice for aerospace avionics, defense  electronics, and industrial high-heat environments where standard cables cannot survive.

Key Features
  • PFA jacket with 230°C rating – Withstands extreme temperatures in engine compartments, avionics bays, and high-power RF applications, exceeding standard FEP performance
  • Ultra-compact 1.8mm diameter – Routes through the tightest cable channels and conduit in high-density electronic assemblies
  • 7/0.10mm SCCS stranded conductor – Silver-plated copper-covered steel provides flexibility and strength without sacrificing conductivity
  • PTFE dielectric – Low-loss material with 69.5% velocity factor ensures consistent impedance and signal integrity
  • 3 GHz frequency capability – Supports L-band and S-band applications including GPS, telemetry, and communications
  • Single silver-plated copper braid – Delivers effective EMI protection for sensitive electronics
  • MIL-DTL-17 qualified – M17/93-00001 for mission-critical defense and aerospace applications
  • 10mm bend radius – Routes around tight corners without signal degradation
  • 1000V voltage rating – Suitable for signal-level applications in demanding environments

Applications
  • Aircraft engine compartments – PFA jacket withstands sustained heat soak from turbine operation while flexible construction routes through tight spaces
  • Missile guidance electronics – 1.8mm diameter fits within constrained form factors while 230°C rating handles aerodynamic heating
  • Defense avionics bays – Survives thermal cycling and vibration in crowded equipment racks
  • Satellite payloads – PFA and PTFE construction provides low outgassing for vacuum operation
  • Radar receiver front-ends – Reliable signal transmission in dense electronic environments
  • Electronic warfare systems – Flexible enough for compact packaging in wing-mounted pods
  • Industrial process control – Continuous monitoring in oven, furnace, and high-heat manufacturing
  • Test and measurement – Test leads for environmental chambers requiring 230°C capability
  • Medical equipment sterilization – Withstands autoclave cycles for reusable medical devices
  • Drone and UAV avionics – Lightweight wiring for video and telemetry links

FAQ

Q: What is the M17 designation for RG196?

A: M17/93-00001 is the official MIL-DTL-17 part number.

Q: What is the temperature rating?

A: Continuous operation from -55°C to +230°C.

Q: What type of jacket does RG196 use?

A: PFA (perfluoroalkoxy), which offers higher temperature resistance than standard FEP while maintaining similar flexibility and chemical resistance.

Q: What is the difference between RG196 and RG178?

A: RG196 features a PFA jacket rated to 230°C, while RG178 typically uses FEP rated to 200°C. Both have similar 1.8mm diameter and 7-strand SCCS construction.

Q: What is the maximum frequency?

A: 3000 MHz (3 GHz).

Q: What is the outer diameter?

A: 1.80mm.

Q: What is the voltage rating?

A: 1000V RMS.

Q: What is the capacitance?

A: 96.5 pF/m.

Q: What is the minimum bend radius?

A: 10mm.

Q: What connectors work with RG196?

A: SMA, MCX, MMCX, SSMB, and other subminiature connectors designed for 1.8mm diameter cables.

Q: Is RG196 more flexible than RG178?

A: Both have similar flexibility, but the PFA jacket on RG196 provides better thermal stability at elevated temperatures.

Q: Can RG196 be used in space applications?

A: Yes, PFA and PTFE materials offer low outgassing properties suitable for vacuum operation.

Q: Do you offer custom lengths?

A: Yes, RG196 is available in bulk spools, cut pieces, or fully assembled with connectors.
