Description

A BNC Female Bulkhead Right-Angle PCB Mount Connector (BNC F BH RA PCB MOUNT) is a specialized panel-and-board RF connector designed to mount directly onto a printed circuit board while simultaneously securing through an enclosure or chassis wall.Part Designation BreakdownBNC: Standard bayonet twist-and-lock quick-connect interface.F: Female gender (Jack/Receptacle).BH: Bulkhead mount (threaded front nose with a hex nut and washer to clamp through a panel cutout).RA: Right-Angle $90^circ$ orientation (redirects the incoming front mating signal straight down to the board).PCB MOUNT: Through-hole solder pins on the bottom for direct mounting onto a circuit board substrate.Technical SpecificationsParameterSpecificationConnector GenderFemale (Jack)Body GeometryRight Angle ($90^circ$)Mounting TypeDual Mount: Bulkhead (Panel) + PCB Through-HoleImpedance50 $Omega$ (Standard RF) or 75 $Omega$ (Video/Telecom)Frequency RangeDC to 1 GHz (Isolated plastics) / DC to 4 GHz (Metal body)Board TerminationSolder Pins (1 signal pin + 2 to 4 ground/shield legs)Panel AttachmentThreaded barrel with hex nut, lock washer, and optional flatInsulation OptionsMetal Body (Grounded to chassis) or Thermoplastic Body (Isolated ground)Body MaterialZinc alloy / Brass with Nickel plating, or PBT housingKey Features & Mechanical AdvantagesDual Mechanical Support: The connector solder legs anchor it to the PCB, while the bulkhead nut anchors it to the outer case. This prevents physical stress on solder joints when cables are plugged in and out.Space Efficiency: The right-angle bend allows the PCB to lay parallel to the floor or top cover of the enclosure, saving vertical profile height inside the device.Chassis Grounding or Isolation:Fully Metallic Versions: Provide ground continuity between the PCB ground plane and the external metal chassis.Isolated (Plastic Body) Versions: Prevent ground loops by keeping signal shield ground separated from the chassis enclosure ground.Common ApplicationsOscilloscopes & Test Equipment: Front-panel BNC input/output channels on benchtop instruments.CCTV & Video Hardware: Rear-panel video inputs on DVRs, multiplexers, and rackmount switchers.Radio Base Stations & Wireless Hubs: Panel feed-through connections for internal RF module PCBs.
