The Molex 0733660010 is an MCX plug, male pin, in the 73366 series — a right-angle, free-hanging (in-line) connector built for thin coax cable groups RG-174, RG-188, and RG-316. It ships as a 3-piece kit: the connector body, an end cap, and a ferrule, so you have everything to terminate one cable end in a single order.
The 6 GHz max frequency puts this MCX plug comfortably into the sub-6 GHz band used by Wi-Fi, cellular, and GPS — it's not a millimeter-wave connector, but it covers the common RF bands without the bulk of an SMA. The 500 mating cycles are typical for a snap-on MCX interface; the gold-plated brass center contact handles the wear, so the plug survives repeated connects in test jigs or field-swapped modules. The -55°C to 155°C operating range means it lives in outdoor enclosures and engine compartments without the dielectric shifting.
Cable termination and shield
The center contact is solder-terminated — you tin the coax center conductor and flow solder into the pin. The shield is crimped through the ferrule, which gives a gas-tight mechanical bond to the zinc alloy body with nickel finish. The PTFE dielectric inside keeps the impedance stable through the termination zone. For a clean field termination, use the correct crimp die for the cable diameter; the ferrule is sized for the RG-174/188/316 jacket OD.
