BNC F CLAMP for RG58/RG142/LMR195/LMR200 Cable

Description

The BNC female clamp connector is a versatile RF component valued for its tool-less outer conductor termination and robust mechanical interface. This variant is specialized for the 5mm cable class, specifically optimized for standard RG58, high-performance LMR195/LMR200, and high-temperature RG142. The clamp-style design utilizes a threaded rear nut, internal pressure sleeve, and gasket system to secure the cable braid, offering a high-integrity connection that can be disassembled and reused if necessary.

As a female interface (jack), it features the classic bayonet housing designed for rapid, vibration-resistant mating with BNC male plugs. Unlike crimp connectors, the clamp termination provides a high-pressure mechanical bond that ensures excellent grounding and shielding effectiveness without the need for specialized crimping dies. Manufactured with a durable nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and reliable signal integrity across a wide range of telecommunications, broadcast, and industrial applications.

Key Technical Advantages

• Tool-Less Field Termination: The mechanical clamp design allows for secure installation using standard wrenches, making it ideal for on-site repairs, emergency maintenance, and laboratory prototyping.

• Reusable Design: The threaded clamp assembly can be easily dismantled and re-terminated, providing a cost-effective and flexible solution for temporary setups or evolving cable configurations.

• Medium-Gauge Cable Match: Specifically calibrated for the 0.195″ to 0.200″ OD cable family, ensuring a precise mechanical fit and optimized electrical transition for RG58 and LMR-series lines.

• Standard Bayonet Interface: Features the industry-standard BNC female interface for rapid, tool-less mating that remains mechanically stable under vibration and movement.

• Rugged Construction: Features a precision-machined brass body and high-performance PTFE dielectric to withstand repeated mating cycles and maintain electrical conductivity in harsh environments.

Key Features

• Interface Type: BNC Female (Jack) with standard bayonet coupling.
