Coaxial Cable Termination
RF one-step BNC/TNC connectors
Applications
RF one-step BNC/TNC connectors are single-piece
assemblies for terminating the center conductor
and the braid of a broad range of coaxial cables.
The connectors are fully intermateable with
MIL-C-39012 connectors and are available in
50-ohm and 75-ohm versions.
Features and benefits
Easy, quick installation.
Outstanding cable-retention force.
Solder-solder connection type
(center conductor and braid).
One-step termination for easy, quick installation
and lower installed cost.
Exceptional cable retention force to withstand
high vibration and frequent mates and demates.
Fully soldered center conductor and braid.
Excellent built-in strain relief against vibration
and excessive handling.
Long-term reliability.
Controlled soldering termination.
Use with standard RG/U cables and Raychem
Cheminax cables.
Three product sizes to accommodate a wide
range of cables.
Meets performance requirements of
MIL-C-39012 up to 2.8 GHz.
