BNC Connector
More properly known as the Bayonet Neill-Concelman connector, the BNC connector is one of several radio frequency connectors on the market today. The name of the connector is derived from a combination of two things: 1) the connecting technology employed; and 2) the names of the two inventors of the device. Paul Neill of Bell Labs and Carl Concelman sought to develop a connector that would employ a bayonet mount mechanism for locking. Building on the research of Octavio M. Salati, the two men perfected an earlier design and created this small connector that has been used for a number of applications over the last several decades.
What does the BNC Connector do?
The BNC connector is configured to process both analog and serial digital interface video transmissions. The connector is also capable of handling transmissions for audio interface as well.
Sizes Available with BNC Connectors
Typically, BNC connectors are manufactured with 50 and 75 ohm impedance capability, with the 50 ohm impedance good for frequencies of up to 4 GHz and the 75 ohm impedance for up to 2 GHz.
How can a BNC Connector be Used?
Many types of electronic test equipment components are configured for the BNC connector. Aviation equipment also frequently employs the use of BNC connectors as well. A third application is with amateur radio antenna connections, making it a popular option with ham radio operators.
Early in the development of consumer-based access to the Internet, the BNC connector was used with Ethernet networks. This application has mainly fallen out of favor, since modern Ethernet network components tend to use a construction that does not include coaxial cables.
Other Names for the BNC Connector
The BNC connector is often called other names. Among them are the Baby Neill-Concelman connector, the Baby N connector, the British Naval connector, and the Bayonet Nut connector.

- SMB Connector
Sometimes referred to as a sub-miniature connector, the SMB Connector is one member of the family of radio frequency (RF) connectors developed during the decade of the 1960′s. As is true of all RF connectors, the SMB connector is manufactured to work within a wide band of frequencies. What does the SMB Connector do? Designed [...]...
- F Connector
The F connector is a particular type of radio frequency connector that was developed in the early 1950′s. Eric Winston is usually credited with the creation of the F connector, while developing cable television as an alternative to the broadcast television options of the day. What does the F Connector do? The F connector provides [...]...
- SMA Connector
The SMA (SubMiniature Type A) connector is a type of the radio frequency connector developed in the 1960s to make it easier to connect coaxial cables. Using a screw-type design instead of the common ‘push-pull’ system, the SMA connector allows for a quick connection; and can be used in both alternating and direct current applications. [...]...
- TNC Connectors
The Threaded Neill-Concelman connector, commonly known as the TNC connector, is actually just a threaded version of a standard BNC connector. With an impedance of 50 ohms, these connectors operate between frequency spectrums of 0-11 GHz. A TNC connector has a far better performance than any BNC connector when it comes to receiving microwave frequencies. [...]...
- 7/16 DIN Connector
The name “7/16 DIN connector” comes from the size of the inner and outer contacts in metric measurements. The inner contact on the 7/16 DIN connector measures 7mm while the outer contact on the connector measures 16 mm. Designed for communications systems, the 7/16 DIN connector can work with equipment with as much as 100 [...]...
I have an imported sony 40″LEDTV.The cable plug is not fitting into the tv.what should i do now?
Have you looked for an adapter? What kind of input does your TV accept?
I have an older security system that went out and i’m am replacing the dvr. The existing cameras are good and appear to have a BNC connection that attaches with a quarter turn and locks in place by little nubs. They have a white wire also that plugs in a box for power. will the connections fit any new dvr i buy?
