The connector style is BNC, the impedance is 50 Ohm, and the plug carries a male pin contact — the standard interface for test equipment, radio base stations, and instrumentation where the signal path needs a bayonet-coupled 50 Ohm reference. The kit ships in a single bag and includes the connector body, a braid clamp, a cable clamp, one silver-plated brass centre contact, a gasket, a PTFE insulator, and a washer. That's everything needed to terminate one cable end, minus the soldering iron and crimp tool. ## Cable Groups This Plug Accepts The braid clamp and centre contact dimensions are matched to a specific range of coax cables: RG-122, 180, 180A, 180B, 195, Belden 1855, and 1865A. If your cable isn't on that list, the clamp won't grip the braid correctly and the impedance match through the transition will drift. That 4 GHz ceiling covers L-band, S-band, and the lower end of C-band — enough for most cellular backhaul, GPS antenna feeds, and laboratory signal generators. The 500 mating cycles mean the centre contact and dielectric survive repeated connect-disconnect cycles in test-rack or field-service use before the insertion loss drifts. ## Weatherproof Bayonet Lock — Not Just Another BNC Listed as weatherproof, which means the gasket and clamp arrangement seals the cable entry against moisture ingress — a step above the standard unsealed BNC that relies on the bayonet lock alone. The bayonet lock (two-quarter-turn engagement) gives a positive tactile mate, and the clamp-style shield termination grabs the braid firmly. For a harness builder running coax through an outdoor cabinet or a marine electronics panel, the weatherproof rating and the nickel-plated brass body resist corrosion better than a bare-brass shell.","metaTitle":"000-16300 Amphenol RF BNC Plug Kit, 50 Ohm, 4 GHz, 7-Piece","metaDescription":"Amphenol RF 000-16300 BNC plug kit, 50 Ohm, 4 GHz max, 500 mating cycles, weatherproof.
