75 Ohm BNC Jack, Press-Fit, 2 GHz — TE 2016080-2
The TE Connectivity 2016080-2 is a BNC-style jack (female socket) with a 75 Ohm nominal impedance, rated to 2 GHz maximum frequency.
75 Ohm Design — Not for 50 Ohm Systems
This jack is built to a 75 Ohm impedance, not 50 Ohm. Using it in a 50 Ohm system creates an impedance mismatch that degrades return loss and signal integrity, especially above a few hundred MHz. The 75 Ohm BNC interface is standard in broadcast video, CCTV, and telecom distribution — not in RF test equipment or wireless infrastructure, which typically use 50 Ohm BNC. If your system is 50 Ohm, look for a 50 Ohm BNC jack with the same press-fit termination profile.
Press-Fit Termination — No Solder on Shield or Contact
This eliminates the soldering step for the RF ground and signal path, which can reduce assembly time and avoid thermal stress on the PTFE dielectric. The bayonet lock provides a positive mechanical mate with the mating BNC plug.
