SMA Jack with IP66 Sealing for Outdoor RF Runs
The Molex 0732515230 is an SMA jack (female socket) from the 73251 series, designed for right-angle through-hole PCB mounting. It uses a threaded coupling for secure, vibration-resistant mating — standard for SMA interfaces up to microwave frequencies. The IP66 rating (dust-tight and water-resistant) is the distinguishing feature here: this jack seals at the panel or enclosure face, making it suited for outdoor antenna feeds, base station equipment, or industrial RF links where a standard SMA would let in moisture.
Right-Angle PCB Launch and Solder Termination
The right-angle body orients the signal path parallel to the board, which saves height in a compact enclosure and keeps the cable run low-profile. Both the shield and centre contact terminate via solder — the shield termination is listed as solder, meaning the ground plane connection is made through the solder joints at the PCB footprint, not a separate ground strap.
