EZ-400-BM-X BNC Male Connector

EZ-style solderless design for fast termination

EZ-400-BM-X delivers the best of both worlds: the quick, solderless installation of the EZ series combined with the reliable, bayonet-lock security of the BNC Male interface. It is the perfect choice for field installers demanding rapid, consistent, and high-performance termination on LMR-400 coaxial cable.

• Solderless EZ-Style Design: Features a revolutionary spring-finger inner contact that eliminates the need for soldering, allowing for consistent, low-resistance connections in under 30 seconds.
• Secure BNC Bayonet Lock: Provides a fast, positive-locking connection resistant to vibration and accidental disconnects, essential for portable and moving equipment.
• High Frequency Performance: Engineered for excellent VSWR performance (typically <1.35:1) with a stable 50 Ohm impedance for reliable use up to 4 GHz.
• No Braid-Trim Feature: Simplifies cable preparation, guaranteeing a consistent shield termination and dramatically reducing the chance of installation errors.
• Superior Durability: Features a Nickel-plated Brass body and Gold-plated Beryllium Copper (BeCu) pins for enhanced corrosion resistance and a reliable mate/de-mate cycle life.

Technical Specifications (Performance & Build)

Installation Advantage: Speed & Consistency

The EZ-400-BM-X is designed to minimize the possibility of field errors and maximize installation throughput.

1. Strip Only: Use the standard CST-400 tool for a single-step strip process. No separate braid trimming or center conductor tinning is required.
2. Insert & Push: Simply push the cable center conductor into the connector. The pre-installed, captivated spring-finger pin grabs the conductor for an instant, highly-reliable connection.
3. Crimp: Crimp the outer ferrule using the standard CT-400/300 crimp tool for a robust, weather-sealed shield connection.

Applications & Use Cases

This connector is the preferred choice for 50 Ohm coaxial cable that require the speed of an EZ-style connector and the positive lock of a BNC Male interface.

• Wireless Data & LAN: Wireless Access Points (WAPs), routers, and bridge connections.
• Test and Measurement: Temporary connections for field testing and monitoring equipment.
• Amateur Radio (Ham): Quick-change antennas and equipment setup.
• Military and Tactical Communications: Equipment requiring fast deployment and secure connections.
