The BNC (Bayonet Neill–Concelman) 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. BNC connectors are used with miniature-to- |
|
subminiature coaxial cable in radio, television, and other radio-frequency |
|
electronic equipment, test instruments, and video signals. The BNC was |
|
commonly used with 10BASE2 computer networks. BNC connectors are made to |
|
match the characteristic impedance of cable at either 50 ohms or 75 ohms. They |
|
are usually applied for frequencies below 4 GHz and voltages below 500 volts. |

Similar connectors using the bayonet connection principle exist, and a threaded connector is also available. United States military standard MIL-PRF-39012 entitled Connectors, Coaxial, Radio Frequency, General Specification for (formerly MIL-C-39012) covers the general requirements and tests for radio frequency connectors used with flexible cables and certain other types of coaxial transmission lines in military, aerospace, and spaceflight applications. |
