HD-BNC connectivity options for ultra-flexible low loss cable
Engineering360 News Desk | June 06, 2022Amphenol RF has expanded the high density-Bayonet Neil-Concelman (HD-BNC) product series with two new cable connectors. These connectors are specifically designed to terminate to the Times Microwave LMR-195-UF cable type that is engineered to be an ultra-flexible low loss cable option. The new configurations include a straight plug and bulkhead mount jack version of this connector, which offer additional versatility over existing HD-BNC products and are ideal for a variety of commercial, industrial and military applications.
The new HD-BNC connector options utilize the familiar bayonet mating interface and provide reliable performance up to 6 GHz and deliver both true 50 and 75 ohm performance in a footprint four times smaller than traditional BNC connectors. The bodies are machined from nickel-plated brass with PTFE used for the insulator components. The interface contacts are made from gold-plated phosphor bronze and beryllium copper to ensure electrical performance.
The straight plug and bulkhead mount jack join a broad portfolio of HD-BNC products, which include IP67 and 12G SDI connectors, adapters and cable assemblies. This interface is a compact version of the popular BNC connector that offers all of the same features and benefits with a footprint four times smaller.
