Of course, the IEC 1 69¨C8 specification costs money to buy.?

I was surprised in most drawings to see limited information about the male pin. ?Apparently the specification requires that any type be intermateable with others. ?

If you look at the information in the female side, given here:?www.spectrum-et.net:81/NEW_WEB2/adapters/pdf/BetweenSeries/BetweenSeries-BNC.pdf,

there more information is given about the potential for male pin size differences, as follows:

¡°See interface dimensions shown on next page. Applicable to Females only: oversize pin .055
inch (1.4 mm) max. dia.,.080 inch (2.03 mm) deep; insertion force 2 lbs. (8.9 N) max. with
.054 inch (1.37 mm) min. dia. pin; withdrawal force 2.00 oz (.556 N) min. with .052 inch
(1.32 mm) max. dia. pin.¡±

but still, this isn¡¯t the real standard. This is just one manufacturers presentation. It suggest pins anywhere from .052 inch to . 055 inch.I don¡¯t have the time or money to purchase the real standard.

The characteristic impedance of any coaxial transmission line is highly dependent on the "ratio" of the diameter of the shielding conductor to the diameter of the inner conductor.

Since the outer part of a BNC connector has fixed dimensions, it is only possible to change the characteristic impedance by varying the thickness of the inner conductor.

Dielectric properties ( the relative dielectric constant & the relative permeability ) matter more for the Velocity factor than for the impedance.
