Description
The BNC male 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 2.5mm to 3mm cable class, specifically optimized for high-performance LMR100, flexible RG174, and high-temperature RG316. The clamp-style design utilizes a threaded nut and internal gasket system to secure the cable braid, offering a high-integrity connection that can be disassembled and reused if necessary.
As a male interface (plug), it features the classic two-stud bayonet locking system for rapid, vibration-resistant mating with BNC jacks. Unlike crimp connectors, the clamp termination provides a pressure-based mechanical bond that ensures excellent grounding 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 broadcast, wireless, and laboratory 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 and laboratory prototyping where crimp tools are unavailable.
-
Reusable Design: The threaded clamp assembly can be easily dismantled and reinstalled, providing a cost-effective solution for temporary setups or cable re-termination.
-
Thin-Gauge Cable Match: Specifically calibrated for the 0.100″ to 0.110″ OD cable family, ensuring a precise mechanical fit and optimized electrical transition for LMR100 and RG316 lines.
-
Secure Bayonet Coupling: Features the industry-standard bayonet locking mechanism for rapid, tool-less mating that remains mechanically stable under movement.
-
