RF bulkhead connectors BNC, N, TNC, F: IEC 61169 parts, thread, hex, panel thickness and mounting hole (as printed per drawing) — dimension sheet Source: Xem Studio, https://xemstudio.com/objects/rf-bulkhead-connectors-bnc-n-tnc-f/ (sheet CC BY 4.0) Basis: Maker and distributor-hosted drawings for specific parts (Amphenol RF, TE, Pasternack, Fairview, e-sonic, Farnell-hosted, Cmpter) and the IEC 61169 titles; numbers only, no files Catalog version: 2026-10-20 Sizes: see table below - There is no single panel hole for a connector type: each drawing prints its own 'recommended mounting hole', and parts of the same type differ (a front-mount BNC with a 3/8-32 thread, a 1/2-28 sealed BNC, a PCB right-angle BNC). Every row is one drawing, with its numbers as printed. Use the drawing of the part you buy; the rows show the spread, they are not a standard. - IEC 61169 parts (titles read): Part 8 BNC, inner diameter of outer conductor 6,5 mm (0,256 in), bayonet lock, 50 ohm; Part 16 type N, 7 mm (0,276 in), screw coupling, 50 ohms (75 ohms); Part 17 type TNC, screw coupling, 50 ohm; Part 24 type F, screw coupling, 75 ohm cable networks. SMA is on sma-bulkhead-connector (1/4-36 UNS) and U.FL on u-fl-connector. - Threads printed on the drawings read: N 5/8-24 UNEF-2A, TNC 7/16-28 UNEF-2A (one TNC drawing prints 7/16-28 and 1/2-28 without saying which is which), F 3/8-32 UNEF-2A. A BNC couples by bayonet and has no coupling thread; the 3/8-32 and 1/2-28 threads in the BNC rows belong to the bulkhead body. - Disagreements kept: the RP-TNC mounting hole is .480 in (12.19 mm) in the Pasternack product name and .476 +.005/-.000 in (12.09 mm) on its drawing; a TNC with a different drawing prints Ø11.43, another 11.80 REF. The two Amphenol/Cmpter BNC drawings both show a .382 in (9.70 mm) figure, the one value that appears twice for BNC. - IEC 61169-24 sample pages (female socket, Table 1): port minimum full thread length 7.50 mm, thread relief not to exceed two full threads, reference plane opening inner diameter 3.90 to 7.4 mm, outer diameter 7.50 to 8.50 mm; male plug (Table 2): length of nut 4.00 to 7.29 mm, inner conductor length 6.35 to 8.63 mm, seal-ring surface diameter 10.41 to 11.04 mm. The sample prints no thread diameter or pitch. - Several drawings label a recommended hole with no value in the text layer (the numbers sit in the drawing image), so those cells say so and nothing is guessed. No file: the D-flat width is not readable as a labelled number on any drawing, so no hole gauge is drawn. connector (IEC 61169 part) part as the drawing names it thread(s) printed hex / wrench / flats max panel mounting hole as printed source BNC (IEC 61169-8, bayonet, 50 ohm) Amphenol RF 31-3376 straight front-mount bulkhead jack (MIL-C-39012/21-0002) 3/8-32 NEF-2A 1/2 in hex (12.70 mm) 0.245 in (6.22 mm) 'D' flat.
