Brief introduction of BNC connector, quality judgment of BNC

BNC to BNC cable

BNC connector (English name: BayonetNeill-Concelman) is a very common RF terminal coaxial cable terminator. The BNC cable connector consists of a center pin, a jacket and a card seat. It includes three parts: BNC connector base, cover and probe. The BNC connector is named after its locking method and its inventor, Paul Neal of Bell Labs (invented the N-terminal) and Carl Conseman, an engineer from Amphenol (invented the C-terminal). The BNC cable connector must be connected to both ends of each cable.

Types of BNC connectors include:

  1. BNC-T type head, used to connect the computer network card and the cable in the network;
  2. BNC barrel connector, used to connect two thin cables into a longer cable;
  3. BNC cable connector, used for welding or screwing on the end of the cable;
  4. BNC terminator, used to prevent the signal from being reflected back and causing interference after reaching the cable fracture. The terminator is a special connector with a carefully selected resistance that matches the characteristics of the network cable. Each terminator must be grounded.

BNC connector quality judgment:

  1. From the surface of the product, it is better to have a bright and delicate coating. The higher the purity of the copper, the brighter it is. Some products are bright on the outside, but they are iron.
  2. In the magnet adsorption test, generally only the bayonet spring and the tail spring are made of iron material; the wire clamp, pin and sleeve are made of copper, and the other parts are made of zinc alloy.
  3. Scrape the surface coating to see the material: use a sharp tool such as a blade to scrape the surface coating to see the material intuitively, and compare the product material intuitively by scraping the coating of the clamp, pin, and shielding sleeve.
  4. In addition to the above methods, you can also prepare a good quality female head to try.
