apon1234 0 Posted August 8, 2015 Any recommendations for brands of crimp connectors for rg59 BNC ? I already have the crimp tool and dont want to spend the $$ for the compression... Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myiicu 0 Posted August 13, 2015 Amphenol's RFX BNC connectors are nice and consistent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the toss 0 Posted August 13, 2015 Keep in mind that there are two standard centre wire diameters. 0.7mm and 0.9mm. If you dont get the connectors that suit your coax you wont be able to crimp the centre pin. Also when you insert the coax with crimped pin into the body, make sure it locks in ( you will feel the click) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apon1234 0 Posted August 14, 2015 Thanks guys. I bought 3 piece AMPHENOL. Do I really need to use the center farnell ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

apon1234 0 Posted August 14, 2015 Sorry, I was using the wrong words- I am talking about the center pin. Do I have to use it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myiicu 0 Posted August 14, 2015 The center pin contains the video signal and the shield is the ground/return. Your crimping tool should have a spot to crimp the center pin. Be patient and accurate with the stripping, and you will be rewarded with a nice compact connection... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
