DNC-2072 Waterproof M16 RF Bulkhead Connector for GPS, RFID, WLAN and WiFi Antennas
DNC-2072 is a waterproof M16 RF bulkhead connector designed for high-frequency antenna and communication applications, including GPS, RFID, WLAN, WiFi, WiMax, LMR, and marine wireless systems.
This connector provides a sealed pass-through point for RF antenna cables in underwater housings, marine enclosures, pressure housings, and outdoor wireless equipment where signal reliability and water protection are both important.
Overview
The DNC-2072 is built for RF and high-frequency applications where a standard electrical connector is not the right solution. It is designed to support compatible 50 Ohm high-frequency cable assemblies and antenna systems used in GPS, WiFi, RFID, WLAN, and other RF-based workflows.
The connector uses an M16x1 threaded format with dual O-ring sealing, a hard anodized marine-grade aluminum body, gold-plated brass contacts, and a built-in water block for additional protection inside underwater housings.

RF and Antenna Use
DNC-2072 is intended for RF signal pass-through applications where antenna cable performance matters. It is useful when a GPS, WiFi, RFID, or other RF antenna connection needs to pass through a waterproof housing wall while maintaining a sealed and mechanically secure installation.
For best results, the complete cable, connector, antenna, and equipment system should be selected together based on frequency range, cable length, impedance, connector type, and signal-loss requirements.
Water Block System
The DNC-2072 waterproof bulkhead connector includes a built-in water block.
The water block helps maintain vacuum inside an underwater housing when using an AirLock vacuum system. It also adds protection against water penetration if the external cable or external connector connection becomes damaged.
