Applications
One-Step BNC/TNC con-
nectors are single-piece
assemblies for terminating
the center conductor and
the braid of a broad range
of coaxial cables.
The connectors are fully
intermateable with
MIL-C-39012 connectors
and are available in 50-ohm
and 75-ohm versions.
Specifications Installation
For proper installation of these devices,
the correct heating tool and reflector
Raychem attachment must be used. Refer to Raychem installation procedure
RB-115 Any one of the following Raychem RPIP683-00 for detailed instructions.
heating tools is recommended:
• Steinel Model HL1802E
• CV-1981
