About TE Connectivity

TE Connectivity (NYSE: TEL) is a global technology leader in connectivity and sensor solutions, serving mission-critical applications across aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors for over 75 years. Their AMP Connectors division sets industry standards for RF components through rigorous MIL-SPEC testing and innovation in high-frequency transmission.

TE’s commitment to quality assurance includes full traceability and environmental compliance (RoHS/REACH). Their ZDC/Greenpar series connectors are renowned for maintaining signal integrity under extreme conditions, making them preferred solutions for engineers requiring uncompromised performance.

About RF Coaxial Connectors

Coaxial connectors provide shielded signal transmission essential for high-frequency electronics, preventing electromagnetic interference (EMI) that degrades performance. BNC-style connectors offer quick-connect bayonet coupling ideal for applications requiring frequent connections/disconnections while maintaining 50-ohm impedance matching for minimal signal reflection.

PCB-mounted coaxial jacks like this TE Connectivity model enable direct integration into circuit designs, eliminating cable strain and simplifying assembly. Their through-hole solder termination ensures mechanical stability and consistent ground paths – critical factors for maintaining VSWR below 1.3:1 at multi-GHz frequencies in RF systems.

FAQs

Q: Is this connector compatible with standard BNC cables?
A: Yes, it mates with all industry-standard BNC male plugs meeting IEC 60169-8 specifications.

Q: What PCB footprint does this connector require?
A: Refer to TE’s datasheet (available on PCXCo.com) for exact dimensions. It uses four through-hole solder points.

Q: Can it handle high-vibration environments?
A: Yes, the bayonet lock provides secure mating, and zinc alloy construction resists mechanical stress.

Q: Is gold plating necessary for RF contacts?
A: Gold prevents oxidation that increases resistance at high frequencies, ensuring stable impedance over 500+ mating cycles.

Q: Why choose 50-ohm over 75-ohm connectors?
A: 50-ohm is standard for test equipment and communications; 75-ohm is typically for video. Mismatched impedance causes signal loss.

Q: Are these RoHS compliant?
A: Yes, this connector meets all current RoHS 3 and REACH environmental directives.
