TNC Jack for RG-316 — 50 Ohm Bulkhead Kit
The Molex 0732161331 is a TNC jack, female socket connector from the 73216 series, designed for 50 Ohm impedance systems. This is a complete 7-piece kit: it includes the connector body, one crimp contact, a ferrule, an insulator, a lockwasher, a nut, and a sleeve — everything needed for a single cable termination to RG-316 coax. The connector mounts to a panel via a bulkhead front-side nut, with threaded fastening for a vibration-resistant mate. Shield termination is crimp, using the included ferrule and sleeve. That wide window suits it for outdoor telecom enclosures, RF test equipment panels, or any environment where the connector sees temperature cycling alongside the coax run.
What's in the Kit — and What It Mates With
The 0732161331 is a female TNC jack — it mates with any standard TNC male plug (threaded interface). Because the kit includes the contact, ferrule, insulator, and sleeve, you're not sourcing separate crimp parts for the RG-316 cable termination. The lockwasher and nut handle the panel-side retention. The PTFE insulator holds the centre conductor in place and maintains the 50 Ohm impedance through the transition.
