BNC Connectors

I have an aversion to all connectors.  They always seem to make my life hard, and I mess things up and cannot get them apart.  The top of the list has been BNC connectors, because I didnt understand them.

A buddy of mine showed me how to put on a BNC, and still I messed them up.  You have to strip 3 times - center conductor, inner jacket, outer jacket - I get that - but how long does each of them need to be?

I have 3 types of connectors for the Sportsman

• BNC Male
• BNC Female Bulkhead
• TNC Male

I found it extremely hard to find the correct assembly instructions for each type of cable.  After searching, I found it for the Amphenol BNC male and TNC Male, but not the BNC Female Bulkhead.

So I measured everything and mapped it out (BNC Female Bulkhead).

Dimensions are available if you have the part number.  Below is the Amphenol TNC male.

This may be 'old hat' to some, but i was just inexperienced - and after wrecking some pins I thought there has to be a better way.  Now I can do a BNC and not waste any parts.

Happy days.
