BNC Plug, 50 Ohm, 4 GHz — for RG-179/187 Coax
It terminates RG-179 and RG-187 coaxial cables with a crimp center contact and crimp shield termination — no soldering needed for the center pin, just the right crimp die.
No direct replacement is listed on the record. If you need a current-production alternative, a parametric search for a 50 Ohm BNC plug for RG-179/187 with similar frequency range will turn up active options from TE or other manufacturers.
The crimp center contact and shield termination require a crimp tool with the correct die set for the cable diameter.
RF Performance and Mating
With a 4 GHz maximum frequency and 0.2 dB insertion loss, this plug is suitable for RF applications up to the low microwave range — think test equipment, telecom infrastructure, and video distribution. The 500 V rating gives headroom for signals with significant peak voltage. The bayonet lock mates with standard BNC jacks (female) on bulkheads, PCB mounts, or cable receptacles. Gold plating on the center contact ensures low and stable contact resistance over the 500-cycle life.
