Mounting is bulkhead-style with a front-side nut, so the jack sits flush against the panel and the through-hole solder tails anchor to the PCB. The body is zinc with a nickel finish — nickel holds up to corrosion in indoor equipment racks and doesn't flake like some plated steels. The dielectric is Polymethylpentene (PMP), a low-loss material that keeps the impedance steady through the GHz range. Center contact is phosphor bronze with tin plating. Tin is fine for the 500-cycle rating here — the bayonet lock wipes the contact surfaces on mate, keeping the oxide layer thin. ## How It Compares The only difference is the housing colour: the 5227222-1 is Natural and Silver, while the 5227222-2 is Black and Silver. If the panel aesthetic or a colour-coding scheme matters, that's the deciding axis. For a pure electrical fit, they're interchangeable. If you need gold-plated centre contacts for higher corrosion resistance or more mating cycles, the 5227161-7 is the gold-contact sibling in the same BNC family — same body, same electrical ratings, same 500-cycle spec, but the gold plating on the centre pin gives better performance in humid or outdoor cabinet environments.","metaTitle":"TE Connectivity 5227222-2 BNC Jack, 50 Ohm, 4 GHz","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 5227222-2 BNC jack, 50 Ohm, 4 GHz, panel mount with bayonet lock. 500 mating cycles, nickel body, solder termination.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["RF / Coaxial Connectors","RF Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Series":"-","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Board Guide, Isolated","Includes":"-","Impedance":"50 Ohms","Body Finish":"Nickel","Cable Group":"-","Body Material":"Zinc","Housing Color":"Black, Silver","Mating Cycles":"500","Mounting Type":"Panel Mount, Through Hole","Connector Type":"Jack, Female Socket","Fastening Type":"Bayonet Lock","Insertion Loss":"-","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"500 V","Connector Style":"BNC","Frequency - Max":"4 GHz","Number of Ports":"1","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Mounting Feature":"Bulkhead - Front Side Nut","Ingress Protection":"-","Shield Termination":"Solder","Base Product Number":"5227222","Contact Termination":"Solder","Dielectric Material":"Polymethylpentene (PMP)","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 85°C","Center Contact Plating":"Tin","Center Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$4.5000","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/5227222-2/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is the 5227222-2 discontinued?","answer":"The 5227222-2 carries an Active lifecycle status per TE Connectivity — full production, no end-of-life notice."},{"question":"What is the impedance and connector type of the 5227222-2?","answer":"The 5227222-2 is a BNC jack (female socket) with a 50 Ohm impedance rating, suited for RF signal paths up to 4 GHz."},{"question":"What is the replacement or equivalent for the 5227222-2?","answer":"The closest functional equivalent is the 5227222-1 — same BNC jack, same electrical ratings, same tin-plated centre contact, differing only in housing colour (Natural and Silver vs Black and Silver).
