Two BNC Jacks in One Panel Cutout
The Amphenol RF 031-6578 is a dual-port BNC jack — two female sockets in a single zinc die-cast body, saving one panel cutout and the associated hardware compared to using two separate jacks. Each port is a standard BNC bayonet-lock interface, accepting the common male BNC plug found on 50 Ohm coax cables.
Mounting and Termination — Panel Fit and Solder Connection
The body is zinc die-cast with a nickel finish, giving a durable, corrosion-resistant shell that also provides consistent RF shielding.
Why Two Ports Matters — Panel Density vs. Single-Port Peers
The 031-6578 carries two BNC jacks in one body. Compare that to the single-port 031-5538-10RFX or 31-5640-1010 — both are otherwise nearly identical (same 50 Ohm impedance, 1 GHz bandwidth, 500 V rating, nickel body, gold center contact). The two-port version halves the panel cutouts and the nut-and-lockwasher hardware per signal pair, which matters when you're populating a 16-port or 24-port panel.
