BNC M CLAMP for RG214 Cable

Description

The BNC male clamp connector for RG214 is a heavy-duty RF component designed to handle the physical and electrical demands of double-braided, silver-plated coaxial lines. This variant is specialized for the 10.8mm (0.425″) cable class, specifically optimized to accommodate the thicker diameter and dual-shielding layers of RG214. The clamp-style termination utilizes a precision-threaded rear nut and internal pressure sleeve system that secures the outer conductors without the need for specialized, large-format crimping tools.

As a male interface (plug), it features the standard two-stud bayonet locking system for rapid, vibration-resistant mating with BNC jacks. Unlike standard crimp connectors, the clamp mechanism provides a high-pressure, uniform mechanical bond that ensures the integrity of the silver-plated shielding is maintained, resulting in excellent grounding and low signal leakage. Manufactured with a heavy-duty nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance across high-stress industrial and telecommunications applications.

Key Technical Advantages

• Optimized for Double Shielding: Specifically designed to manage the dual braid layers of RG214, ensuring a high-integrity electrical ground and maximum shielding effectiveness.

• Tool-Less Field Termination: The mechanical clamp design allows for secure installation using standard wrenches, making it ideal for on-site maintenance and laboratory setups where large crimp dies are unavailable.

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

• Rugged Mechanical Interface: The thick-walled brass body and robust clamp system provide superior pull-off resistance and strain relief for heavy-duty coaxial cables.

• High-Performance Materials: Features a precision-machined body and gold-plated center contact to minimize signal loss and provide long-term protection against environmental oxidation.
