BNC Panel mount sockets

[Steve WithnellParticipant @stevewithnell34426]

Just got a bag full of "single hole" panel mount BNC connectors, the ones secured with a large nut – anyone know what the thread is? I need to tap the panel to fit them (not the normal method, but it's not a normal application).

Steve,

Try this

Or try this – that's 2 different sizes you can choose from!

I think you need to measure them.

The normal panel mount connectors are 3/8 – 32 UNEF. The 1/2 in thread is for the pcb mounted type.

Thanks – what an odd set of sizes. My lathe won't cut 32TPI as standard, I'll have a juggle with the gears to see how close I can get. If I can't I'll have to turn the existing thread off and cut a thread the gears will allow, there is plenty of meat on the connector to allow that I reckon.
