Ideal for Tight Spaces and High-Vibration Applications
EZ-400-BM-RA-X combines the proven EZ-style rapid termination with an essential Right Angle form factor. This BNC Male plug is specifically designed for situations where coaxial cable routing and space constraints prohibit the use of a standard straight connector, without sacrificing performance.
- Right-Angle (RA) Design: Provides a 90-degree bend directly at the connection point, enabling efficient coaxial cable routing in compact enclosures, equipment racks, and crowded installation areas.
- Solderless EZ-Style: Features a pre-installed, spring-finger inner contact that eliminates soldering, allowing for consistent, low-resistance connections in under 30 seconds.
- BNC Bayonet Lock: Offers a quick-connect, positive-locking coupling mechanism that is secure against vibration and resistant to accidental disconnection.
- High-Performance up to 4 GHz: Maintains excellent signal integrity with a stable 50 Ohm impedance and low VSWR (typically <1.35:1 at 4 GHz).
- Rugged & Corrosion Resistant: Built with Alballoy body plating for superior corrosion/salt fog resistance and Gold-plated Beryllium Copper (BeCu) pins for enhanced reliability in demanding environments.

Why Right-Angle Matters
A right angle BNC Male connector is often a necessity, not a luxury. Using a straight connector in a tight space forces the cable into a sharp bend, which can lead to catastrophic cable damage and signal degradation due to the crushed dielectric.
- Prevents Cable Kinks: The EZ-400-BM-RA-X absorbs the bend, protecting the LMR-400’s crucial internal geometry and preserving its low-loss characteristics.
- Optimized Space Use: Allows equipment to be pushed closer to walls or enclosures, crucial in mobile racks or vehicles where every inch matters.
- Reduced Stress: Eliminates strain on the coaxial cable jacket and the connector interface, extending the overall lifespan of the cable assembly.
Applications & Use Cases
This connector is indispensable for 50 Ohm BNC Male applications requiring clean, space-efficient cable routing.
- Test and Measurement: Connecting cables to rear panels of equipment in crowded lab benches or mobile field kits.
- Vehicle & Mobile Communications: Antenna connections inside vehicle cabs or tightly packed mobile command centers.
- Equipment Racks & Enclosures: Connecting RF lines where cabinets are full and cable management is critical.
- Security & Surveillance Systems: Clean routing behind cameras or monitors.
