MINI-BNC CONNECTOR SERIES
The Mini BNC connector series offers the high performance and wide compatibility of the original Amphenol 75 Ω BNCs. However, the Mini-BNC has a higher connector density. Specifically, 40% more interconnects in the same area.
Furthermore, the Mini BNC series expands on the SMB and SMZ system. Mini BNCs provide a positive locking bayonet system whereas SMB and SMZ have no locking feature. In addition, the Mini BNC is specifically designed to be a drop-in replacement and used with the Telco DS3 application.
The Mini BNC is compatible with the present field installer tooling and strip dimensions.
Features and Benefits
- Crimp/Crimp design compatible with Trompeter tooling
- Same standard installation tooling using the best-in-class Telco DSC cable terminations assignment
- Same foot print on the jack side, making the Mini BNC a drop-in replacement for most high-density applications using SMB or SMZ jacks
- 75 Ω allowing room for movement up the frequency chain while matching impedance
- Bayonet locking coupling mechanism
Applications
- Antennas
- Medical Equipment
- Automotive (GPS)
- Computers/LANs
- Mil-Aero
- Base Stations
- Cable Modems
- Instrumentation
- Network Analyzers
- Telecom
