Summary of Radiall BNC Straight Plug Clamp Type Data Sheet

This datasheet provides technical information about Radiall’s BNC Straight Plug Clamp Type connectors, specifically the 12 RR141.004.0OO series, designed for use with 2.6/50+75 cables. The document elaborates on mechanical and electrical characteristics, materials, plating, and other specifications necessary for users and engineers to understand the product’s capabilities and limitations.

Components and Materials

The main body and center contact of the BNC connector are constructed from brass. For durability, a nickel plating of 2 micrometers is applied to the body, while the center contact receives a gold plating of 0.5 micrometers over nickel. The insulator is made of PTFE, and Silicone Rubber is used for the gasket. Other parts are also made of brass with nickel plating.

Electrical Characteristics

Key electrical properties include an impedance of 50 ohms and a maximum voltage rating of 500 Veff, with the connector performing up to 4 GHz. The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is specified as 1.3. Dielectric withstanding voltage is at a minimum of 1500 Veff, while insulation resistance is at a minimum of 5000 MΩ. Insertion loss, RF leakage, and stripping specifications are also provided.

Mechanical Characteristics

Mechanical specifications indicate center contact retention with a minimum axial force of 27.2 N, and a minimum pull-off torque for cable retention of 110 N. Recommended torque settings for mating, panel nut, and clamp nut are included, along with details on the mating life of 500 cycles minimum, and a weight of 19 grams.

Environmental Specifications

The operating temperature range for the BNC connector is indicated as -65 to +165 degrees Celsius. Environmental properties such as hermetic seal and panel leakage are listed as not applicable (NA).

Packaging and Cable Assembly Information

Packaging specs are standardized for 100 units with optional configurations available upon request. Assembly instructions, recommended cables which include RG 316, RG 188, RG 187, RG 179, and KX 22A, and other pertinent data for correct cable assembly are provided.

The company notes that specifications are subject to change in their effort to improve products as necessary, highlighting their commitment to product development and customer satisfaction.
