Times Microwave EZ-240-BM-X BNC Plug, Straight, EZ Style
EZ-240-BM-X Connector is a high-performance BNC Male (plug) connector specifically engineered for rapid, reliable termination of LMR-240 and similar flexible low-loss coaxial cable. As a premium component of the EZ-Fit series, this connector combines the ease of a solderless installation with the quick-disconnect convenience of the BNC bayonet interface. It is the perfect choice for professional installations requiring the superior low-loss performance of LMR-240 cable, particularly in video, instrumentation, and RF systems up to 3 GHz.
Key Features & Installation Benefits
- Optimized for LMR-240: Precision engineered to match the electrical and physical requirements of LMR-240 cable, ensuring maximum performance and minimum reflection (VSWR).
- EZ-Fit™ Solderless Technology: Features a cutting-edge spring-finger inner contact that connects to the center conductor without any soldering.2 This eliminates heat damage and reduces installation time by up to 80%.
- BNC Quick-Connect: The classic BNC bayonet coupling allows for fast, tool-less mating and demating, making it ideal for high-volume or frequently reconfigured setups.
- Excellent Electrical Performance: Provides low insertion loss and a clean signal path across its operating range up to 3 GHz, meeting the demands of high-definition video and data applications.
- Durable & Robust: Constructed with machined brass and durable nickel plating for exceptional corrosion and wear resistance in challenging environments.
