BNC Connector Power Rating?

Are there any specifications or standards that define the amount of power I can push through a BNC connector?

I’m planning on driving a 100% inductive load with roughly 60Vp-p @ 3A, this is at f=400k-1MHz.

The datasheets for the connectors only really provide an insertion loss (which is a relative power measurement) or a max voltage. How would I go about determining this?

Seth I found this article Guide to RF Coaxial Connectors and Cables - AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation it seems to address your question pretty well.
