50 Ohm BNC Plug for 1.5C-2V / 1.5D-2V Cable
The BNC-P-1.5CR(40): Rated to 4 GHz, it covers the full BNC bandwidth including Wi-Fi bands and instrumentation signals up to the UHF spectrum. Termination is a hybrid: the centre conductor is soldered for a gas-tight, low-resistance joint, while the braid is crimped for a fast, repeatable shield termination. The crimp barrel eliminates the need for a separate ferrule and gives a consistent pull-off strength across a harness run. The bayonet lock mates quickly with a quarter-turn and holds against vibration up to the 1000-cycle rating. The centre contact is silver-plated brass — silver offers lower RF surface resistance than tin or gold at frequencies below 4 GHz, though it tarnishes over time in corrosive environments.
Cable Compatibility and Termination Checklist
This plug is dimensioned for Japanese-standard 1.5C-2V and 1.5D-2V cables. The free-hanging, in-line mounting suits patch cables, test leads, and equipment whip assemblies where the connector is not panel-mounted. For a panel-feed application, a mating BNC bulkhead jack is needed on the other side of the panel.
