The Mini BNC connector series offers the high performance and wide compatibility of the original Amphenol 75 ohm BNCs. However, the Mini-BNC has a higher connector density, allowing for 40% more interconnects in the same area.

The Mini BNC series expands on the SMB and SMZ series, providing a positive locking bayonet system, in contrast to the SMB and SMZ push-on mating. In addition, the Mini BNC is specifically designed to be a drop-in replacement and used with Telco and broadband applications.

The Mini BNC is compatible with standard field installer crimp tooling and strip dimensions.

Features and Benefits

Crimp ferrule and contact design compatible with standard tooling
Same footprint on the jack side, making the Mini BNC a drop-in replacement for most high-density applications using SMB or SMZ jacks
75 ohm performance for 3G video
Bayonet locking coupling mechanism
Compact version of standard BNC

Applications

Medical Equipment
Automotive (GPS)
Computers/LANs
Military/Aerospace
Base Stations
Cable Modems
Instrumentation
