BNC bulkhead adapter meets weatherproof requirements
The BNC connector interface, by Aviel Electronics, is widely used in a multitude of applications despite a design that originated in the 1940s. The basic design originally offered a minimal weather protection in the mated condition and almost no protection when un-mated. Aviel Electronics designed a BNC bulkhead adapter incorporating a glass bead that hermetically seals the connector to withstand a 100PSI leak test.
The adapter, Aviel model # Z-1142 may be used in IP67 or IP68 applications in the mated and unmated condition. All interface dimensions are designed to IAW MIL-C-39012 specifications and overall dimensions to UG-492D/U specification. The adapter is manufactured with silver plated brass body and gold plated center contacts. The adapter has 50Ω impedance and is rated at DC to 4GHz. with low reflection.
The adapter is also available in custom outline dimensions to meet customer requirements for special applications.
