One a related note, BNC breakout test leads are also available. They are designed to make it easier to monitor signals and statistics by providing better access to a connection. These test leads are typically 4" in length, though they can be longer, and have a variety of different clips or connectors to fit your application, including grabbers, banana plugs or alligator clips. The grabbers have nylon housings and are designed to stay resistant against conductor materials. The banana plugs are made of a copper alloy with a plastic housing and beryllium copper spring. The alligator clips are nickel-plated steel with PVC insulators. Alligator clips, banana plugs, and grabbers are also available separately. The test leads feature 20 AWG hook up wire that is insulated with 105 C rated PVC. Also available are single BNC connectors that can be field attached. Named for the designers that created them, this includes female connectors as well as adapters. This allows the user to attach the BNC connector to an RCA plug, male BNC, or SMA connector. These BNC connectors have housings made from brass, with various finishes, including nickel plating, gold plating, or tarnish resistance. Contact material is usually gold-plated beryllium copper. There are also T-connectors, that create three connections, as well as PCB or bulkhead mount BNC connectors that can be attached to a panel. Like all BNC connectors, they have a twist-lock operation for fast connecting or disconnecting. |
