There are many people who know the?BNC connector, but it is clear that there are few BNC connector types. For the type of BNC connector, RenhotecIC engineers will introduce you to the details of the BNC connector in the following. Know what the BNC connector type is.

　　First,The BNC connector is a miniature quick connect / disconnect radio frequency connector used for?coaxial?cable. It features two bayonet lugs on the female connector; mating is fully achieved with a quarter turn of the?coupling?nut.


　　Knowing the type of BNC connector is very beneficial to the purchaser and can help them better choose the product in future product purchases. The NC connector includes:

　　BNC-T head for connecting cables in computer network cards and networks;

　　BNC barrel connector for connecting two thin cables into one longer cable;

　　BNC cable connector for soldering or screwing at the end of the cable;

　　The BNC terminator is used to prevent the signal from being reflected back to the cable to cause interference. The terminator is a special type of connector with a carefully selected resistor that matches the characteristics of the network cable. Each terminator must be grounded.


　　BNC ATTRIBUTES

　　The?BNC connector?uses a bayonet fixing to prevent accidental disconnection if the cable is pulled or repeatedly moved. It is a constant impedance connector. In other words, it has the same characteristic impedance across the whole of the connector. Coax cable has “characteristic impedance”. Consequently RF signals travelling along a coax cable will see no impedance changes as they pass through the BNC connector. This is vital for RF applications as it will result in few reflections and a lower level of loss.

　　BNC SPECIFICATIONS

　　The connector is available in two basic types – 50 ohm and 70 ohm. 50 ohm is most widely used. It is typically specified for frequencies up to 4 GHz (and can be used up to 10 GHz when specified for). There is a variety of BNC connector formats. There are plugs and sockets as well as adapters and attenuators.

　　BNC TYPES

　　There are several?BNC connector types?available. The main difference between them is in the way they are attached to the cable.

　　Compression

　　A BNC compression connector is a one piece F connector. With the help of a cable stripper and a compression tool, you can easily attach the connector to the cable.

　　Crimp on

　　There are two styles of BNC Crimp on connectors – 2 piece and 3 piece. Using a cable stripper and a compression tool you can achieve a secure attachment of the BNC crimp on connector to the coaxial cable. The crimp on type BNC is widely used.


　　Twist on

　　The Twist on BNC connector requires no tools to attach – just the cable. it is twisted onto the cable by hand.

　　All three types achieve the same goal and the chief difference between them is the way they are attached to the cable.
