Back Mounted
(rear mounting) |
|
When a connector is mounted from the inside of a panel or
box with its mounting flange inside the equipment. |
|
| Bandwidth |
|
The range of frequencies for which performance falls within
specified limits. |
|
| Bayonet Coupling |
|
A quick coupling device for plug and receptacle connectors
, accomplished by rotation of a cam operating device designed
to bring the connector halves together. |
|
| Bending Radius: |
|
Minimum static: The minimum permissible radius for fixed installation
of the cable. This radius is mainly used in climatic tests.
Minimum dynamic: The minimum permissible radius for flexible
applications of the cable. |
