RF Specs — 50 Ohm, 4 GHz Ceiling
The 5414974-1: A BNC jack with 50 Ohm characteristic impedance, rated to 4 GHz maximum frequency. The 50 Ohm match is standard for video, test instrumentation, and low-power RF signal paths. The 4 GHz ceiling covers most baseband and intermediate-frequency applications, though it trails the 6–12 GHz range of the precision BNC variants.
Construction and Mounting
Through-hole right-angle mount, with the shield termination soldered directly to the PCB ground plane. Zinc body with nickel finish, dielectric is polymethylpentene (PMP).
Voltage and Mating Cycles
Rated 500 V — the voltage standoff is set by the PMP dielectric and the air gap in the BNC interface. The 500 mating cycle rating means this jack can handle moderate reconnect duty in test or field-service setups, though it is not designed for thousands of cycles like a precision RF connector.
