It is a 50 Ohm connector rated to 4 GHz, making it suitable for standard video, RF, and instrumentation signal paths where a reliable, quick-connect coaxial interface is needed. The connector is part of TE's BNC family, and the base product number 5228980 identifies this specific bulkhead variant with crimp shield termination.
The 50 Ohm impedance matches the characteristic impedance of common coaxial cables like RG-59. The 4 GHz max frequency covers the full bandwidth for analog video and many digital signals up to the lower microwave range. The 500 V voltage rating is generous for typical signal-level circuits.
Cable compatibility and included hardware
This jack is designed for cable group RG-59, 59A, 59B, 62, 62A, and 62B — the common 75 Ohm video cables (RG-59) and 50 Ohm data cables (RG-62). The kit includes all six pieces: the connector body, one contact, one ferrule, one gasket, one lockwasher, and one nut. That means you do not need to order the mounting hardware separately — the gasket seals the bulkhead, and the lockwasher prevents the nut from backing off under vibration.
Mating cycles and field service
The bayonet lock gives a positive mechanical connection that is faster to engage than a threaded coupling, but it does not provide the same vibration resistance as a threaded SMA or TNC — for a fixed installation subject to shock, consider a lock-washer or a threaded alternative.
