BNC M CRIMP for LMR100/RG174/RG316 Cable

Description

The BNC male crimp connector is a foundational RF component valued for its quick-connect/disconnect bayonet coupling 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 two-stud bayonet locking system ensures a positive, vibration-resistant mate that can be connected and disconnected in seconds without tools.

As a male interface (plug), it features a precision center pin and a rugged housing designed for secure engagement with BNC jacks. This connector utilizes a hex-crimp termination system for the outer conductor, providing a high-strength 360-degree mechanical bond and excellent strain relief for flexible coaxial lines. Manufactured with a durable nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and reliable operation across the RF spectrum, ensuring signal integrity in broadcast, security, and wireless systems.

Key Technical Advantages

• Efficient Crimp Termination: The hex-crimp design allows for rapid, repeatable assembly, making it ideal for high-volume production, cabling workshops, and field repairs.

• 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 classic bayonet locking mechanism for tool-less mating that remains mechanically stable under vibration and movement.

   

• High Mechanical Stability: The crimp sleeve provides superior pull-off resistance and robust strain relief, maintaining electrical contact even under physical stress.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Features a precision-machined nickel-plated body and gold-plated center contact to ensure low contact resistance and long-term environmental protection.

Key Features

• Interface Type: BNC Male (Plug) with standard bayonet coupling.

• Termination Method: Crimp (Outer Braid) / Solder or Crimp (Center Pin).

• Cable Compatibility: Optimized for LMR100, RG174, RG188, RG316, and equivalent 50-Ohm thin coaxial cables.
