HD-BNC Port PCB Connectors Increase Connectivity Density
May 18, 2020 | Amphenol RFEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Amphenol RF is pleased to introduce HD-BNC dual port PCB jacks into an already broad portfolio of 12G optimized interconnects. This new connector configuration allows for dual-port termination and increases connector density while saving valuable PCB real estate, eliminating the need for risers or mezzanine connectors. The dual port interface is ideal for 4K or ultra-HD broadcast applications and meets the latest SMPTE specifications for 12G broadcast.
The HD-BNC dual port PCB jacks feature the popular bayonet style coupling mechanism and offer stable electrical performance though 18 GHz. The connector contacts are gold plated beryllium copper, and bodies are matte tin plated zinc die-cast, or gold plated machined brass. Both designs have a secure bulkhead mounting feature. These jacks are available as both stacked and staggered mount configurations for additional versatility.
In addition to 12G HD-BNC products, Amphenol RF also offers multiple 12G capable configurations of the popular BNC connector and most recently, MCX connectors. Adapters and fixed length cable assemblies are also available.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: Ensuring Design Integrity
03/28/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonBack in February, many of us watched the "Big Game." It reminded me of the saying, “It's not how you start that is important, but rather how you finish." It is perfectly okay when you are talking about sports, you get off to a bad first half and need to recover in the second half. However, when it comes to PCB design, this is not a good practice. If things start badly, they usually don't recover. They continue down that same path, costing more money and losing design time.
Punching Out: Acquiring a PCB/EMS Shop: Brownfield vs. Greenfield
03/27/2024 | Tom Kastner -- Column: Punching Out!We often get asked about establishing a new company (greenfield) rather than buying an existing PCB or EMS shop (brownfield). There are many criteria to consider. Many buyers want to grow through M&A, but they cannot find acquisition targets that fit their criteria. Perhaps they can find the right shop, or at least one that fits five out of 10 criteria, but they encounter obstacles, such as owners who do not want to sell, price expectations that are too high, or negotiations that are too difficult. Despite the interest in building new facilities, since 2000, few companies have gone the greenfield route. Here is a look at the pros and cons of buying vs. building.
