FIELD REFERENCE / COAXIAL ROLES

One connector.
Different questions.

Identify the mating interface. Read the mounting and termination fields separately. Keep each electrical rating attached to the exact named component.

01 / INTERFACE

What connects to what?

An F-type board jack, an N-Type adapter and a TNC cable plug perform different jobs. The family name is only the starting point.

02 / ATTACHMENT

Where is it attached?

Panel mounting, board termination and cable attachment belong in separate fields. Similar housing details do not settle all three.

03 / EVIDENCE

What is still unknown?

A blank catalogue cell is missing information, not an explicit negative. Conflicting ratings remain unresolved.

F-type, N-Type and HD-BNC gain their first registered specimen studies. The first two follow exact Amphenol RF part drawings; the HD-BNC study follows the named 034-1018 catalogue row. These are qualitative side exteriors, not a common scale, contact layout or manufacturing drawing. All views remain supplementary; existing lead illustrations are preserved.

FIELD OUTPUT / FOUR PAGES / SOURCE CONTEXT RETAINED

Three original exterior studies, six named examples and a dated source ledger. Missing fields and the temperature conflict remain on the printed page.

What remains unresolved?

The exact TNC 122108 drawing could not be inspected, so that row has no substitute physical view. The HD-BNC row photograph is too small to establish terminal details or an exact mounting stack. The original customer drawings remain the place to obtain dimensioned information.

The 172123 product page and linked drawing disagree on the temperature range. Neither rating is selected as authoritative here. Listing dates for downloadable files are not treated as drawing revision dates.

Nine new claims and four canonical source observations deepen four existing forms. Three source URLs are new; the HD-BNC guide URL is already catalogued, and this is a narrower dated observation of its specific PCB rows. Six auxiliary observations distinguish product text from inspected drawings and photographs. Manufacturer originals are not redistributed. Independent technical and rights reviews remain pending.
