The BNC5-J-P-GN-RA-BH2D: The included lockwasher and nut save a separate hardware order — you get the connector, the lockwasher to prevent vibration loosening, and the nut for the panel face in one tray-pack. Rated to 4 GHz, this jack covers the full BNC band for analog video and common RF links like GPS and ISM bands. Gold-plated phosphor bronze center contact gives reliable signal transfer through repeated mating cycles — not the cycle life of beryllium copper, but adequate for field-service reconnection where you're mating and unmating a few dozen times over the equipment's life.
What's the difference from the straight through-hole version?
The BNC5-J-P-GN-ST-TH2D is the straight through-hole sibling — same 50 Ohm impedance, same 4 GHz ceiling, same zinc body and gold-plated center contact. The only difference is the orientation: the straight version exits perpendicular to the PCB, while this right-angle version runs parallel.
How does it compare to the 75 Ohm BNC7T?
The body is brass instead of zinc, and the center contact is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze. The 75 Ohm impedance is for broadcast video and cable TV distribution, not 50 Ohm test equipment.
