BNC, N, TNC Connectors ONLINE CATALOG AEP BNC, N, and TNC series connectors are specifically designed for use with miniature flexible and semi-rigid cable. They are available with goldplated or nickel-plated bodies and hardware. These connectors have solderclamp attachment for semi-rigid cable, or clamp or crimp attachment for flexible cable. Both crimp and clamp types for flexible cable grip the cable braid with a force greater than the breaking strength of the braid. All have captive contacts. The precision N connectors on page 4 have stainless-steel bodies, and captive plug-on center contacts for easy cable assembly.

Precision N Connectors for Semi-Rigid Cable Click on part number to go directly to cable assembly instructions These precision N connectors are constructed with 303 stainless steel bodies, Teflon insulators, and beryllium copper contacts. They feature captivated contacts which plug on to the cable center conductor, eliminating contact gapping and soldering during assembly simply trim the cable, slide the connector on, and solder the jacket.
