BNC Solder Tag — Ground Termination for BNC Jacks
Its job is to provide a convenient solder point for terminating a ground wire or shield drain wire to the connector body, establishing a low-impedance path to chassis ground. This is a common requirement in coaxial cable assemblies where the shield must be bonded at the connector interface.
Compatibility and Fit — For Use With BNC Jacks
This solder tag is intended for use with BNC jacks, as stated in the manufacturer's compatibility note. It is not a standalone connector but a termination accessory — it solders onto the BNC jack's shell, typically at a dedicated grounding tab or around the barrel. The Silver-plated Brass body provides a solderable surface, and the Tin-Lead finish on the body ensures a reliable solder joint with tin-lead solder. The tag itself is the solder point; the wire (typically a ground or shield drain) is soldered directly to it.
Sourcing and Compliance Notes
The 227260-2 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Its Silver color is a visual identifier, not a functional spec. The critical compliance point is the Tin-Lead body finish — this part is not RoHS compliant and cannot be used in assemblies subject to RoHS restrictions without an exemption. For RoHS-required builds, a lead-free equivalent should be sourced; no official TE replacement is listed for this part, so cross-referencing a similar BNC solder tag with a Tin or lead-free finish is the practical path.
