SMA Plug for RG-402 Semi-Rigid — 50 Ohm, 18 GHz
The Molex 0732510031 is an SMA plug, male pin connector from Series 73251, designed specifically for RG-402 (.141" semi-rigid) cable. It delivers a 50 Ohm impedance path rated to 18 GHz — the full bandwidth of the SMA interface, limited by the connector geometry rather than the contact. The threaded coupling ensures a vibration-resistant mate, and the gold-over-brass centre contact with gold stainless steel body gives corrosion resistance for field-deployed or lab-use RF assemblies.
What's in the Kit — and Why That Matters for the Build
That means you don't order a separate crimp terminal or loose insulator — the cable prep and solder assembly are the only steps. The contact termination and shield termination are both solder, so the build requires a controlled-temp iron and the correct solder preform for the centre pin.
500 Mating Cycles — Gold Plating Makes It Field-Serviceable
For a permanent-install cable assembly, 500 cycles is far more than needed; for a lab patch cable or a portable radio interface, it means the connector outlasts the cable.
