'''BNC''' (from ''Bayonet Neill–Concelman'', sometimes erroneously named ''Bayonet Naval Connector'') is the most common coaxial connector standard for measurement equipment up to 1 GHz. | |||
It was patented in 1951 by Hazeltine Research, Inc. | |||
It is available in different impedances. 50 Ω is the most common. | |||
Tektronix gear transitioned from [[Connectors#UHF|UHF connectors]] to BNC connectors in | |||
the early to mid-1960's. For some pieces of equipment, a conversion kit was | |||
available. | |||
