Cliff adds BNC connector to 'SLIMS' range

Cliff Electronics has announced the addition of a BNC connector version to their SLIMS FeedThrough Connector range.

Widely used for RF, Test and Measurement equipment and security systems the BNC version is available in both 50Ω and 75Ω impedances.

The narrow form factor of Cliff’s SLIMS range is widely used by audio, broadcast, data and communications systems manufacturers in the USA and is now becoming more popular in the UK and the rest of Europe for increasing panel density and for products being exported to North America.

Other applications for the new SLIMS BNC FeedThrough connector include education and laboratory devices.

The SLIMS connector rage offers a more compact alternative to the company’s 26mm wide XLR form factor product range, with the new SLIMS connectors just 19mm wide allowing up to 20 to be mounted in a 1U, 19” rack panel, rather than just 16 of the existing XLR design.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, other SLIMS versions available are the data connector types RJ45, HDMI and USB 2 and 3.

Supplied in either a black plastic shell or nickel silver metal, SLIMS connectors may be mounted to the front or rear of control panels, have assembly options of 3.2mm plain holes, countersunk holes or 2.5mm plain self-tap holes. The mounting holes are on the central vertical axis of the connector.

Cliff’s FeedThrough connectors allow standard, off the shelf, connecting cables to be used for internal connectivity, simplifying and speeding up system assembly and facilitating easy repurposing of equipment.

The most popular connectors in Cliff’s FeedThrough range are CAT 5e RJ45, CAT 5e Shielded RJ45, CAT 6 RJ45, CAT 6 Shielded RJ45, HDMI Female – Female, USB 3.0 A-A, USB 2.0 B-A and USB 2.0 A-A. All widely used in data and audio-visual applications.
