The 50 Ohm impedance and 18 GHz frequency ceiling place it in the standard SMA performance band — full DC-18 GHz capability, not a reduced-range variant. ## Cable Fit and Termination — .141\" Semi-Rigid, Solder Both Ends This plug is machined specifically for RG-402 cable — the.141\" outer diameter semi-rigid coax with a solid copper outer conductor. The shield termination is solder directly to the connector body; the centre contact is a solder-cup style. The PTFE dielectric preform is included in the kit. For.085\" cable (RG-405), the sibling 901-9867-RFX is the correct fit — the body bore and centre contact dimensions differ. ## Mating Cycles and Field Duty — 500-Cycle Gold Interface It is not a high-cycle production test port (those typically spec 1000+ cycles), but it will outlast a tin-plated SMA on a bench cable. No last-time-buy or phase-out notice is on record. Lead time is confirmed per request. ## Cross-Shop: 901-9867-RFX for .085\" Cable The closest functional alternative is the 901-9867-RFX, which is the same SMA plug, male pin, 50 Ohm, 18 GHz, gold body, and 500-cycle rating — but machined for RG-405 (.085\" Semi Rigid) cable. The 901-9867-RFX kit includes a ferrule (4 pieces total) instead of the 3-piece kit here. If your cable is.141\", this is the correct part; if.085\", use the 901-9867-RFX. The 132102 and 132111 are bagged 2-piece kits (connector + contact or connector + end cap) from a different Amphenol series — functionally similar but not a direct kit match.","metaTitle":"Amphenol 901-9868-RFX SMA Plug, RG-402, 50 Ohm, 18 GHz","metaDescription":"Amphenol 901-9868-RFX SMA plug, male pin for RG-402 .141\" semi-rigid cable. 50 Ohm impedance, DC-18 GHz, gold body, 500 mating cycles.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["RF / Coaxial Connectors","RF Cable Assemblies"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Amphenol RF","Series":"-","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Includes":"3 pcs - 1 Connector, 1 Contact, 1 Insulator","Impedance":"50Ohm","Body Finish":"Gold","Cable Group":"RG-402 (.141\\\" Semi Rigid)","Body Material":"Brass","Housing Color":"Gold","Mating Cycles":"500","Mounting Type":"Free Hanging (In-Line)","Connector Type":"Plug, Male Pin","Fastening Type":"Threaded","Insertion Loss":"-","Product Status":"Active","Connector Style":"SMA","Frequency - Max":"18 GHz","Number of Ports":"1","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Mounting Feature":"-","Ingress Protection":"-","Shield Termination":"Solder","Base Product Number":"901-98","Contact Termination":"Solder","Dielectric Material":"Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)","Operating Temperature":"-65°C~165°C","Center Contact Plating":"Gold","Center Contact Material":"Brass"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$7.9000","stockQuantity":16,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What cable does 901-9868-RFX fit?","answer":"It is designed for RG-402 (.141\" Semi Rigid) coaxial cable.
