BNC Plug Kit for RG-59 and Belden Cables, 50 Ohm to 2 GHz
The Amphenol RF 68175-1005 is a BNC plug kit — a male pin connector in a bayonet-lock shell, designed for free-hanging (in-line) cable termination. The kit is built for RG-59, Belden 1426A, 1505A, 8281, 9100, and 9278 cables, making it a standard choice for CCTV, video distribution, and low-frequency RF signal paths up to 2 GHz.
The centre contact can be terminated by crimp or solder — crimp is faster for production harnesses, solder gives a field-rework option. The shield termination is crimp-only, using the included ferrule to clamp the braid.
500 Mating Cycles and Bayonet Lock
The bayonet lock (quarter-turn) mates quickly and holds positively against cable strain — no threads to cross, no torque spec to hit. The single-port, 1-position design is the standard BNC interface, interchangeable with any 50 Ohm BNC jack or bulkhead receptacle.
NRND — Sourcing and Replacement Planning
The 68175-1005 carries a Not Recommended for New Design (NRND) lifecycle status. For new designs, evaluate the current Amphenol RF BNC plug range for a direct cable-group and performance match.
