href="/wiki/RF_connector" title="RF connector">radio frequency connector</a> used for <a href="/wiki/Coaxial_cable" title="Coaxial cable">coaxial cable</a>. It is designed to maintain the same <a href="/wiki/Characteristic_impedance" title="Characteristic impedance">characteristic impedance</a> of the cable, with 50 ohm and 75 ohm types being made. It is usually applied for video and radio frequency connections up to about 2 GHz and up to 500 volts. The connector has a twist to lock design with two lugs in the female portion of the connector engaging a slot in the shell of the male portion. The type was introduced on military radio equipment in the 1940s and has since become widely applied in radio systems, and is a common type of video connector. Similar radio-frequency connectors differ in dimensions and attachment features, and may allow for higher voltages, higher frequencies, or three-wire connections. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Name">Name</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=BNC_connector&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Name"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The connector was named the <i>BNC</i> (for Bayonet Neill–Concelman) after its <a href="/wiki/Bayonet_mount" title="Bayonet mount">bayonet mount</a> locking mechanism and its inventors, <a href="/wiki/Paul_Neill" title="Paul Neill">Paul Neill</a> and <a href="/wiki/Carl_Concelman" title="Carl Concelman">Carl Concelman</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Lee04_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lee04-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Neill worked at <a href="/wiki/Bell_Labs" title="Bell Labs">Bell Labs</a> and also invented the <a href="/wiki/N_connector" title="N connector">N connector</a>; Concelman worked at <a href="/wiki/Amphenol" title="Amphenol">Amphenol</a> and also invented the <a href="/wiki/C_connector" title="C connector">C connector</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Description">Description</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=BNC_connector&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Description"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The BNC connector features two bayonet lugs on the female connector; mating is fully achieved with a quarter turn of the coupling nut.

The 75 ohm types can sometimes be recognized by the reduced or absent <a href="/wiki/Dielectric" title="Dielectric">dielectric</a> in the mating ends but this is by no means reliable. There was a proposal in the early 1970s for the dielectric material to be coloured red in 75 ohm connectors, and while this is occasionally implemented, it did not become standard. The 75 ohm connector is dimensionally slightly different from the 50 ohm variant, but the two nevertheless can be made to mate. Note that a male 50 ohm BNC has the pin larger than the one of a 75 ohm male, then it can widen the female, causing a fault connection when inserted later a 75 ohm male connector. The 50 ohm connectors are typically specified for use at frequencies up to 4 GHz and the 75 ohm version up to 2 GHz. </p><p>Video (particularly HD video signals) and <a href="/wiki/Digital_Signal_3" title="Digital Signal 3">DS3</a> Telco central office applications primarily use 75 ohm BNC connectors, whereas 50 ohm connectors are used for data and RF.

In a connector of this type, the female contact normally found in a jack is usually in the plug, while the male contact normally found in a plug is in the jack. This ensures that reverse polarity interface connectors do not mate with standard interface connectors.<sup id="cite_ref-amphenol_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-amphenol-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability"><span title="The material near this tag failed verification of its source citation(s).

These are used in sensitive electronic measurement systems. Early triaxial connectors were designed with just an extra inner conductor, but later triaxial connectors also include a three-lug arrangement to rule out an accidental forced mating with a BNC connector. Adaptors exist to allow some interconnection possibilities between triaxial and BNC connectors. The triaxial may also be known as a Trompeter connection. </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="High-voltage_connectors">High-voltage connectors</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=BNC_connector&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: High-voltage connectors"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/MHV_connector" title="MHV connector">MHV connector</a> and <a href="/wiki/SHV_connector" title="SHV connector">SHV connector</a></div> <p>For higher voltages (above 500 V), <a href="/wiki/MHV_connector" title="MHV connector">MHV</a> and <a href="/wiki/SHV_connector" title="SHV connector">SHV</a> connectors are typically used.
