Those ARE BNC, Robert. What the OP was asking was whether or not the way
the cable was attached to the connector could be one of the kind where you
simply strip the outer sheath back an inch or so, strip the center insulator
back a quarter of an inch, put a threaded ferrule over the outer shield of
the connector, slide the inner insulator into the body of the connector and
then thread the ferrule into a mating thread on the connector. No crimp, no
solder.

The consensus, and I heartily agree, that those "twist on" BNC connectors
aren't worth powdered bat **** as an RF connector, much less an aircraft RF
connector.

Are they acceptable for avionics use?

I wouldn't recommend them.
Maybe as a temporary emergency repair, but not for something you want to
depend on.

I always thought that the half turn connectors that are the standard
in avionics were called BNC. If not, what are they called?
