Product details

75 Ohm BNC Plug — What This Connector Is

The center contact is brass with gold plating — good for the 500 mating cycle rating and corrosion resistance in field-installed runs. This is a single-port connector, impedance-matched to 75 Ohms, with a max frequency of 2 GHz and insertion loss of 0.15 dB. The 75 Ohm impedance and 2 GHz ceiling match video and telecom signal paths.

The 75 Ohm impedance matches video and telecom signal paths. The 2 GHz max frequency covers HD-SDI rates. The bayonet lock gives a positive mate with a quarter-turn; the 500-cycle rating means it'll hold up to regular reconnection in patch panels or field test points.

Obsolete — Sourcing Reality

For BOM lines that specify this exact order code, the sourcing path is the independent surplus and broker market. There is no official TE cross-reference or direct successor part number on record for this specific 75 Ohm, Belden 8218-crimped variant.

Compatibility and Cross-Reference

The 221185-3 is specifically listed for Belden 8218 cable — a 75 Ohm RG-59/U type coax commonly used in CCTV and baseband video. The crimp dimensions and dielectric fit are matched to that cable's jacket and core diameters.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 221185-3 BNC connector?

The 221185-3 is obsolete and not available through standard distribution stock. We source it through the independent surplus and broker channel — submit an RFQ with your target quantity and we will confirm current availability and pricing at quote time.

Is the 221185-3 compatible with Belden 8218 cable?

Yes, the 221185-3 is specifically listed for Belden 8218 cable. The crimp termination and dielectric fit are designed for that 75 Ohm RG-59/U type coax used in CCTV and baseband video applications.

What is a replacement for 221185-3?

There is no official direct replacement from TE Connectivity for this exact 75 Ohm, Belden 8218-crimped BNC plug. The closest functional equivalent would be another 75 Ohm BNC plug with crimp termination, gold center contact, and bayonet lock designed for Belden 8218 — but verify the form factor and dimensions against your original before committing.
