50 Ohm BNC Jack for Panel-Mount RF Interconnects
The Molex 0731711360 is a BNC jack from the Series 73171 line, built as a 50 Ohm RF interconnect for panel-mount applications.
Installation and Mechanical Fit
The zinc alloy body has a tin finish, and the single-port design keeps the footprint compact. With 500 mating cycles on the bayonet interface, it handles frequent connect-disconnect duty in test equipment, instrumentation panels, or RF patch bays without the contact wear you'd see on a lower-cycle connector.
Signal Path and Materials
The 50 Ohm impedance is held through the PTFE dielectric body — that material's stable dielectric constant keeps the characteristic impedance consistent across frequency, which matters for return loss in RF paths up to several GHz.
