Description

A BNC Female LMR-240 Crimp Connector is a 50-ohm RF inline cable connector engineered to terminate low-loss LMR-240 coaxial cable using a dual-crimp attachment method.It features a female BNC bayonet socket on the front for quick mating with standard BNC male plugs, and a metal crimp ferrule at the rear that permanently clamps down on the outer shield and jacket for a 360-degree grounded seal.Technical SpecificationsParameterSpecificationConnector GenderFemale (Jack)Mounting StyleStraight Cable Mount (Inline)Cable CompatibilityLMR-240, RG-8X, Belden 7808A, WBC-240 (~6.10 mm / 0.240 in outer diameter)Impedance50 $Omega$Termination MethodOuter Ferrule Crimp + Solder/Crimp Center PinFrequency RangeDC to 3 GHz / 4 GHzVSWR$le 1.20$ (DC to 3 GHz)Working Voltage500V RMS peakInsulation Resistance$ge 5000text{ M}Omega$Body Material & PlatingNickel-plated BrassCenter Pin ContactGold-plated Brass or Beryllium CopperInsulator MaterialPTFE (Teflon)Key FeaturesPrecision LMR-240 Fit: Specifically dimensioned to accommodate the thicker ~6.10 mm outer jacket, foam dielectric, and center conductor of LMR-240 cable to prevent physical stress and impedance mismatch.Dual Crimp Mechanism: The outer sleeve (ferrule) is crimped using a standard hex die (typically .255" hex) to provide strain relief and uniform electrical grounding.High Physical Holding Power: Provides superior pull-off strength compared to clamp designs, making it suitable for high-vibration applications.Recommended ConnectorsRF Industries BNC Female Crimp₹221.04·RF IndustriesA 3-piece 50-ohm crimp connector with a nickel-plated body and solder center pin, engineered specifically for LMR-240 cable termination.W5SWL Brand Premium Series BNC Female Crimp RF Radio Connector for RG-8X Mini-8 Low Loss Type 240 Series Coax Cable 2-PACK - by W5SWL Brand₹3,200.00·W5SWLA premium-series 50-ohm BNC female connector set designed for RG-8X and 240-series low-loss coaxial cables.Common ApplicationsCellular Boosters & Wi-Fi Systems: Connecting LMR-240 antenna feed lines to transceivers, access points, and amplifiers.Amateur Radio & VHF/UHF Networks: Interfacing low-loss antenna lead-ins with base station equipment.RF Test Lead Assemblies: Creating custom-length jumper cables for laboratory and benchtop test gear.
