UHF (Ultra High Frequency) Connectors were originally designed for low-frequency, non-critical RF applications, with an operating frequency range typically from 0 to 300 MHz. Despite their name, UHF connectors are most suitable for lower-frequency applications.

They are commonly used in civilian broadcast systems, radio communication, and older antenna systems. The connectors feature a threaded coupling mechanism, which ensures simple construction and low cost, making them a popular choice for automotive communication and amateur radio equipment.
