Abstract
An insulated Bayonet Neill Concelman (BNC) connector includes a replaceable non-metallic insulating shell. The non-metallic shell is attached to a metallic portion of the BNC connector such that, when mounted on an oscilloscope, or other electronic instrument, the non-metallic shell may be disconnected from the metallic portion of the BNC connector without having to gain access to the interior of the instrument housing. Thus, in the event of damage to the non-metallic shell, the damaged non-metallic shell may be quickly and easily replaced by a user, instead of having to return the instrument to the manufacturer for repair.
