BNC M CRIMP for Semi-rigid .141/RG402 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 .141-inch cable class, specifically optimized for solid-jacket Semi-Rigid and hand-formable RG402 cables. While many .141 assemblies utilize solder-on connectors, this crimp-style model provides a faster termination process without sacrificing the mechanical integrity required for industrial and field applications.

As a male interface (plug), it features the industry-standard two-stud bayonet locking system designed for secure engagement with BNC jacks. This connector utilizes a precision crimp termination for the outer conductor, providing a high-strength 360-degree mechanical bond. Manufactured with a durable nickel-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and reliable operation across the microwave spectrum, ensuring signal integrity in sophisticated test equipment and wireless systems.

Key Technical Advantages

• Efficient Crimp Termination: The hex-crimp design allows for rapid, repeatable assembly compared to traditional solder-only methods, making it ideal for high-volume production and field repairs.

• Precision .141/RG402 Match: Specifically calibrated for the 0.141-inch OD jacket, ensuring a precise mechanical fit and optimized electrical transition for semi-rigid cable families.

• Secure Bayonet Coupling: Features the classic bayonet locking mechanism for tool-less, rapid mating that remains secure under vibration and mechanical movement.

• High Mechanical Stability: The crimp sleeve provides superior pull-off resistance and excellent 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.
