BNC Female to SO239 Adapter | UHF to BNC Female Connector for RF, CCTV & Radio

BNC female to SO239 adapter designed for RF, antenna, and CCTV applications. This BNC to SO239 adapter features a 50 Ohm nickel-plated brass body, gold-plated center pin, and supports frequencies up to 300 MHz. Ideal for converting UHF female (SO-239) to BNC female in radio equipment and coaxial setups

USES

1. RF Connector Conversion- Enables seamless transition from SO-239 (UHF female) to BNC female interfaces in RF systems.

2. Antenna to Receiver Integration- Connects UHF-based antennas to BNC-compatible analyzers, receivers, or signal testers.

3. CCTV System Compatibility- Bridges BNC cameras and UHF cable infrastructure in surveillance and monitoring setups.

4. Ham & CB Radio Adaptation- Ideal for amateur radio users adapting SO-239 ports to BNC-enabled accessories.

5. Lab & Test Bench Applications- Used in RF testing environments to connect instruments with differing connector types.

FEATURE

1. Dual Connector Interface- Equipped with UHF Female (SO-239) and BNC Female connectors for versatile integration.

2. RF Impedance Match- Maintains a consistent 50 Ohm impedance for reliable RF signal transmission.

3. Durable Construction- Nickel-plated brass housing ensures longevity and corrosion resistance.

4. Gold-Plated Center Pin- Improves conductivity and reduces signal loss at connection points.

5. Frequency Range Support- Performs efficiently up to 300 MHz for low-frequency RF and analog video setups.

FAQS

1. Can this adapter handle RF signals above 300 MHz?
This adapter is optimized for frequencies up to 300 MHz. Beyond that, signal integrity may degrade due to inherent limitations in UHF (SO-239) interfaces.

2. Is the BNC connector true 50 Ohm or 75 Ohm tolerant?
The BNC female connector on this adapter is a true 50 Ohm variant, ensuring impedance match for RF and communication-grade systems. It is not recommended for 75 Ohm applications like SDI video.

3. Can this adapter be used in high-power RF transmission?
While suitable for low to moderate RF power levels, it’s not rated for high-power transmission (>100W). It’s best for signal routing, low-power RF, and monitoring.

4. How secure is the mechanical connection?
The UHF side uses a threaded SO-239 interface, while the BNC side features a positive-lock bayonet design. Combined, they offer a mechanically robust and interference-resistant connection.

5. Is it suitable for permanent outdoor use?
The nickel-plated brass body offers some corrosion resistance, but for long-term outdoor use, weather-sealed or waterproofed enclosures are recommended
