BNC Crimp Connector for RG-174 / RG-316 with Heat-Shrink Sleeve, DELOCK 91760

DELOCK BNC Crimp Connector for RG-174 / RG-316 with Heat-Shrink Sleeve is a compact, single‑piece BNC termination designed for small-diameter coaxial cables. It provides a standard BNC interface for RF, video and general signal applications where a durable, low-profile connector is required. The connector ships with a matching heat‑shrink sleeve to insulate and provide strain relief after crimping.

Advantages

This BNC crimp connector supports RG-174 and RG-316 coaxial cables, enabling a secure mechanical and electrical connection through a crimped center pin and outer ferrule. The included heat‑shrink sleeve improves insulation and reduces mechanical stress at the joint, protecting the cable from bending and environmental effects. The compact design is suitable for confined installations and maintains the common BNC bayonet coupling for quick, tool-assisted mating and demating.

Suitable for

• Creating reliable BNC terminations on RG-174 and RG-316 coaxial cables
• RF signal connections in test and measurement setups
• Video transmission lines and CCTV installations with thin coax
• Embedded or compact electronic equipment requiring low-profile connectors

When it may not be suitable

This connector is optimized for thin, flexible coax such as RG-174 and RG-316; it is not appropriate for thicker cables (for example RG-58 or RG-59) that require larger connectors and different crimp dimensions. It is also intended for permanent or semi-permanent crimped terminations rather than frequent disconnects where a bulkier push-on or threaded solution might be preferred.

Key specifications

• Connector type: BNC (bayonet coupling)
• Compatible cable sizes: RG-174, RG-316
• Termination method: crimp for center conductor and outer ferrule
• Included accessory: matching heat‑shrink sleeve for insulation and strain relief
• Typical applications: RF, video, signal transmission
• Design: compact, low‑profile for space‑constrained installations

How to use

Prepare the RG-174 or RG-316 cable by stripping the outer jacket, braid, and dielectric to the recommended lengths for this connector type. Insert the center conductor into the crimp pin and place the ferrule over the cable braid. Use the proper crimp tool sized for the connector to secure the pin and ferrule, ensuring a stable mechanical and electrical joint. Slide the supplied heat‑shrink sleeve over the termination and apply heat evenly until it conforms to the connector body, forming an insulated, strain‑relieved junction. Verify continuity and mechanical integrity before final installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure cable compatibility: intended for RG-174 and RG-316 only
• Confirm you have the correct crimp tool and die for this connector type
• Check space constraints to confirm the connector’s low‑profile design suits your installation
• Decide if a permanent crimp termination meets your need versus a removable connector

Usage recommendations

Use a calibrated crimp tool and follow the cable stripping dimensions recommended for RG-174/RG-316 to achieve reliable RF performance. Apply heat to the shrink sleeve evenly and avoid overheating nearby components. After assembly, test the connection with appropriate RF or continuity testers to confirm signal integrity before final deployment.
