50 Ohm Impedance and 3 GHz Bandwidth — What They Mean for Signal Path
The 031-6233: The 3 GHz maximum frequency covers the L-band and S-band, so this jack handles GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular, and general-purpose RF signals up to the lower microwave range. The 0.2 dB insertion loss at rated frequency is typical for a BNC interface; the loss is dominated by the dielectric and the contact interface, not the connector body.
Mounting and Termination — Board Edge or Panel Feed-Through
This jack supports two mounting schemes: board-edge end launch for direct PCB integration, or panel mount with the included front-side nut and lockwasher for a chassis feed-through. The shield termination is solder — the outer braid of the coax solders to the shell body, giving a low-impedance ground path.
Body Construction and Plating
The body is zinc die cast with a nickel finish — the nickel gives corrosion resistance and a consistent surface for the bayonet lock to engage. The silver housing color is the natural nickel finish, not a paint or coating.
