Amphenol RF expands its HD-BNC connector portfolio with a bulkhead connector 

Amphenol RF has added an HD-BNC bulkhead connector to its coaxial connector range. It is built for panel mounting, allowing the connector to be fixed securely in place. Its high-density design lets users fit up to four times more connectors on a panel compared to a standard BNC. The bayonet coupling mechanism ensures a firm connection while still allowing quick mating and unmating. The connector is designed for high-frequency broadcasting and telecommunications systems.

The HD-BNC bulkhead connector uses a gold-plated brass body and a gold-plated beryllium copper contact. It also includes a nut, inner ferrule, bullet contact, and sleeve. The gold plating improves resistance to corrosion and helps maintain stable signal performance. The connector supports frequencies up to 9 GHz and works with micro-coax cable types such as RG-178, 0.81 mm, 1.13 mm, and 1.37 mm.

This product can be used by broadcast engineers, telecom system designers, and hardware developers working on compact electronic systems. It is also useful for test and measurement engineers who need reliable high-frequency connections in limited space.

With this connector, users can design denser panel layouts without increasing size. This helps in building compact equipment such as video routers, cameras, and communication modules. It also supports faster setup and maintenance because the bayonet mechanism allows quick connection and disconnect.

In telecom systems, it can be used to handle high-frequency signal transmission with stable performance. In broadcasting, it helps manage multiple signal paths in a smaller area. Overall, the connector allows users to save space, maintain signal quality, and simplify system design in high-frequency applications.
