| Oscilloscope BNC mating cycle ratings ? |

Hi forum. I recently purchased a USB scope ( PicoScope 4444 ) which utilizes D-sub instead of BNC connectors. I inquired with manufacturer if they could provide me with contact type ( i.e. machined or stamp & formed ), plating and mating cycle rating information for the D-sub connector as used in this model. Their answer was the information was "proprietary" although I think they really meant confidential as I don't think there can be anything proprietary about a right-angle surface mount D-sub. Do oscilloscope manufacturers typically publish such data or are connector manufacturers known such that rating information can be obtained ? Can anybody speak to typical ratings of BNC connectors used in oscilloscopes ? Thank you. |

What do You mean? Your scope is low bandwith and high imput impedance device So any connector will be fine |

Just one example for an Amphenol part says 500 mating cycles: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/amphenol-rf-division/031-5493-1010/ARF2060-ND/2641487 Another exmple, Cinch Vitelec, also states 500 cycles: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/cinch-connectivity-solutions-vitelec/VBM211-75/1427-1048-ND/4430345 Is that what you're looking for? |

Thanks for replies. Ratings are typically much lower than realized cycles. A rating of 500 does suprise me though as I was thinking BNC connectors as used on scopes would be minimum rating of 1000 and more likely 3000. |
