The 31-212: It is a field-assembly kit — the package includes the connector body, braid clamp, cable clamp, centre contact, gasket, insulator, and washer — seven pieces total, so nothing extra to order for a single termination.
This plug fits RG-59, 59B, 62, 140, 210, and Belden 8241, 8263, 8279, 9209 coax cables. The centre contact is solder termination; the shield is clamped down by the braid clamp.
31-212 vs 31-206 — In-Line Plug vs Bulkhead Jack
The 31-206 is the bulkhead-mounted jack counterpart to this plug. Both are BNC, 50 Ohm, 4 GHz, with 500 mating cycles and 0.2 dB insertion loss. The difference is the form factor: the 31-212 is a free-hanging plug (male pin) for in-line cable termination, while the 31-206 is a jack (female socket) that mounts through a panel with a front-side nut and lockwasher. If your assembly needs a panel pass-through, the 31-206 is the mating half on the bulkhead side; the 31-212 stays on the cable end.
