Product Description
BNC Male Crimp Connector for LMR-240 / RG-8X Coaxial Cable
The ARS-G005-8X - BNC Male Plug Crimp Connector is a high-quality 50-ohm RF connector designed for installation on LMR-240, RG-8X, and similar 0.240-inch OD coaxial cables. It provides a secure, low-loss connection for radio communications, test equipment, wireless systems, and other RF applications.
The BNC male plug features a convenient bayonet-style coupling mechanism, allowing the connector to be quickly installed and removed with a simple quarter-turn twist-and-lock action.
Features
- 50-Ohm impedance
- Frequency range: DC to 4 GHz
- Designed for LMR-240 / RG-8X coaxial cable
- Compatible with approximately 0.240-inch OD coaxial cable
- BNC male plug with bayonet-style coupling
- Crimp-style cable termination
- Secure mechanical connection
- Gold-Plated beryllium copper center contact for reliable electrical conductivity
- Silver-plated brass alloy - connector body
- PTFE (Teflon) dielectric insulator
- Suitable for a wide range of RF and communications applications
Construction
The connector is typically supplied as a 3-piece assembly consisting of:
- Main connector body – Silver-plated brass alloy construction
- Center contact pin – Gold-Plated beryllium copper
- Crimp ferrule – Secures the braided shield and cable jacket to the connector body
The center conductor is attached to the contact pin, while the outer braid is secured by compressing the ferrule with the appropriate hex crimp tool.
