BS EN 4652-220:2017

What is BS EN 4652-220 - TNC interface about ?

BS EN 4652-220 is one of a series of documents applicable to the specifications of connectors, coaxials, radiofrequency and TNC interface. 

BS EN 4652-220 is a European Standard that specifies the characteristics of screwed-on coupling (TNC interface) coaxial straight plugs − 50 ohms. 

These connectors are foreseen for lightweight coaxial cables; so, appropriate sealing has to be achieved. 

Who is BS EN 4652-220 - TNC interface for ? 

BS EN 4652-220 on TNC interface is useful for: 

• Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology 
• Aerospace products manufacturers 
• Aeronautical engineers 
• Design engineers 
• Quality control personnel 

Why should you use BS EN 4652-220 - TNC interface ?

TNC connectors (Threaded Neill Concelman) are 50ohm coaxial connectors. It is a higher-performing, threaded version of the more common, BNC connector. It is used for RF communications up to 11 GHz. 

TNC connectors are used in many applications including Mil-Aero, instrumentation, and cable assemblies. Hence, as a manufacturer of such applications, you can use BS EN 4652-220 best practice guidelines to improve the production of these applications. 

BS EN 4652-220 provides information about the configuration, dimension, and mass of the connectors’ coaxial radio frequency for use in electrical systems of aircraft. 

Specifications like materials, finish, temperature, electrical characteristics, the delivery condition, and stripping lengths are also specified in BS EN 4652-220.
