RP-BNC Plug for Field-Terminated Coax
This is a common requirement in Wi-Fi and ISM-band equipment where the antenna port uses RP-BNC to prevent accidental connection of standard antennas.
This plug accepts RG-174, RG-188A, RG-316, LMR-100, and M17/119-RG174 cables — all 50 Ohm flexible coax. The crimp termination uses a hex die for the centre contact and a separate hex crimp for the braid ferrule. The bayonet lock provides quick mate and unmated with 500-cycle rated life — the coupling nut engages with a quarter-turn and locks with a positive detent. No tool is needed for mating, which makes it practical for field-service runs where the connector is cycled regularly.
