What is the Amphenol RF 000-36875?
It ships as a kit: one connector body, one crimp/solder contact, and one ferrule, ready to terminate onto RG-55, 142, 223, or 400 cable.
The 000-36875 carries a NRND (Not Recommended for New Design) status. It is not formally discontinued, but Amphenol RF advises against using it in new product builds. No official replacement part number has been issued by the manufacturer; any cross-reference would need to match the BNC interface, 50 Ohm impedance, and cable group compatibility.
Cable Group and Termination Fit
This plug terminates to RG-55, RG-142, RG-223, and RG-400 cable groups — the common double-shielded and triple-shielded coax types for instrumentation and telecom. The contact accepts either crimp or solder attachment; the shield terminates via a crimp ferrule.
RF Performance at a Glance
Rated to 1 GHz maximum frequency with a 0.2 dB insertion loss — clean enough for most baseband and low-frequency RF links. Voltage rating is 500 V. Mating cycles are rated at 500, which is typical for a BNC bayonet interface in field-service or bench-test use.
