Frequently Asked Questions

What cables are compatible with this BNC connector?

This 90-degree BNC male connector works with several common coaxial cable types including RG58, RG58C/U, LMR195, LMR200, RG142, RG400, RG223, and CA-195. All these cables share approximately 0.195 inch outer diameter, ensuring a secure crimp fit. Always verify your specific cable type matches before ordering.

Do I need special tools to install this connector?

Yes, proper installation requires a coaxial cable stripper, a ratcheting crimp tool with appropriate hex dies (0.052″ for the center pin, 0.213″ for the ferrule), and a soldering iron for the center contact. Using proper tools ensures reliable connections and prevents signal loss or short circuits.

Can this connector be used outdoors or in marine environments?

Absolutely. The nickel-plated brass body and PTFE insulator provide excellent resistance to moisture, salt air, and UV exposure. This makes it ideal for marine VHF radio installations, outdoor antenna systems, and any application requiring weather-resistant RF connections.

What is the difference between crimp and solder BNC connectors?

Crimp connectors attach to the cable braid using mechanical compression (crimping), creating a very strong mechanical bond. The center pin is typically soldered for electrical continuity. This hybrid approach provides both durability and excellent signal transfer, outperforming purely soldered connections in high-vibration applications like aircraft or marine vessels.
