Browsing through various data sheets for BNC male plug connections, I do not see any information on what size hex crimp tool to use. I believe that for the pins, in general, 0.068 is used. For RG-58 cable, a typical size I’ve seen for crimping the ferrule is 0.213 and for RG-174 I’ve seen 0.178. However, I would feel more confident if the manufacturer stated these sizes for their particular products. Is there some way to determine this from the data sheets?
Some data sheets I’ve looked at (AdamTech, TE Connectivity, Cinch, Amphenol):

Thank you for contacting DigiKey, for part number RF1-03B-D-02-50, the manufacturer does not list any specs for the crimp size on the data sheets or their web site, we do have a tool kit listed that is part number 2057-ATHT-K3081-ND, on the data sheet they show the cable groups and crimp size

crimp ferrule is .178 and the contact is .068
For the VB10-2015 we have the crimp tool listed as part number 2111-DCC1113-ND , however the manufacturer web site is not working to get any data sheets for these .
For the 112128 we have crimp tool part number ACX1393-ND listed and for the data sheet for this tool they show .068 for the contact and .213 for the ferrule
Data sheet for the tool,
Thanks Craig
