What this BNC jack is and where it fits
The TE Connectivity 5413515-7 is a BNC jack, female socket — the panel-mount half of a standard 50 Ohm BNC interconnect. It mates with any BNC plug of the same impedance, which makes it the fixed end of a coaxial signal path in test equipment, RF distribution panels, or instrumentation enclosures. The 50 Ohm impedance is the standard for RF and video signal chains, and the 1 GHz max frequency covers most lab-grade and telecom-band applications up through the lower UHF range. The connector is rated for 500 mating cycles, which is a solid field-service figure for a bayonet-lock design — the twist-to-lock coupling wears the detent mechanism, and 500 cycles means years of daily connect-disconnect in a production test rack before the retention feels loose.
Mounting and mechanical details
This jack mounts through a panel bulkhead using a front-side nut, with the body sitting on the outside of the chassis. The through-hole solder tails come out at a right angle, so the connector body stays parallel to the panel face while the PCB sits perpendicular — a common board-edge layout in shielded enclosures where the coax bulkhead is on the backplane. The board lock feature holds the connector to the PCB during reflow or hand-soldering, preventing the solder tails from shifting before the joint sets. The body is zinc with nickel finish, and the center contact is phosphor bronze with gold plating — the gold on the mating side matters here because 500 mating cycles will wear through tin flash, but the gold layer keeps contact resistance stable across the life of the connector.
Sourcing and lifecycle
This part carries an Active product status. It is available to order through independent distribution channels; current pricing and lead time are confirmed at the time of an RFQ against your BOM quantity. No official successor or cross-reference is on record — if your design calls for the filtered, isolated variant, this is the direct part number. The bulk packaging (tray or bag, not tape-and-reel) is typical for panel-mount RF connectors that are hand-loaded during assembly.
