Halfway down this page (it's a PDF doc):

the TNC and BNC connectors are advertised as "dual-crimp". What does this
mean? "Dual" as in center in crimp and outer shield ferrule crimp?
yes


As opposed to what? Single-crimp? That would be connectors that use the
center, solid conductor as the center pin
yes(solder or captivated

and then crimp the shield ferrule?
Or...? yes

Newly (did you guess?) into small coax connectors and trying to get the
terminology straight...
you did good

are you just trying to learn the terminology or do you really
need to make some connectors and seek the best/easiest? way to
do that??

if you did you got a bunch of good tips here from the others



Thanks.

i'll throw in a few other simular options to connectors

there are strip tools that can cleanly and safely strip the coax
they just spin around and do a great job i've seen cost between 50
to 100bucks depending on coax

also you can get a fixed center pin whereby you don't have to
solder or crimp, the captivated connectors the outer
sheild part gets a crimp only typically a bit of glue on the
inside heavy ga heat shrink shrink goes over all

they are rated very good soare are the center pins /outer shield
that gets crimped using the right tool of course

no matter what you use skills at doing the job and
inspection/testing of the work will always remain a constant
