Mating Cycles and Durability
The bayonet lock wears less than a threaded coupling over repeated use, and the tin-plated center contact is adequate for the cycle count — gold would extend life further, but tin holds up well at this duty level.

TE Connectivity 5227161-1 BNC jack, female socket, 50 Ohm, 4 GHz max, 500 mating cycles, panel mount bulkhead, right angle, through-hole solder termination, nickel body, tin center contact.
