BNC connectors require minimal assembly
time

Greenpar Wedge-Lock, Taper Lock connectors cover RG174/179 applications and deliver the ultimate in efficiency, reliability and economy.

Reducing assembly times by more than 50% over standard Mil/UG clamp style connectors, Greenpar Wedge-Lock, Taper Lock connectors from Tyco Electronics cover RG174/179 applications and deliver the ultimate in efficiency, reliability and economy The connectors are constructed as a unitised subassembly, thereby greatly reducing the number of parts to be handled

The captive contact feature positively retains the centre contact in a fixed position within the connector by means of shoulders on the contacts.

Further, combing and trimming of the cable braid is no longer required, greatly reducing, if not eliminating, the possibility of "shorting" inside the connector.

After the cable has been prepared and soldered to the centre contact, the clamp nut is tightened, pressing firmly against the cable jacket, resulting in a positive termination, which can withstand a pull on the cable greater than the inherent strength of the cable itself.

These cable clamping mechanisms can be disassembled and reused.

Further, no special tools are required for assembly. Request a free brochure from Tyco Electronics UK ...
