Product details

At 50 Ohms and 4 GHz max frequency, this plug handles the lower microwave band cleanly — think GPS, ISM-band radios, and short-run test leads where you need a snap-on mate rather than a threaded SMA. The nickel-plated brass body and gold center contact give a corrosion-resistant signal path that holds up to 500 mating cycles before the gold starts to wear through.

Cable prep and crimp termination

This plug terminates with a standard crimp sequence: strip the coax to the dimensions in the Molex drawing, slide the ferrule over the jacket, crimp the center contact onto the conductor, then push the contact into the dielectric body until it seats, and finish by crimping the ferrule over the braid. The snap-on fastening type gives a positive lock with no tools — push to mate, pull to release. The 335 V voltage rating is generous for the cable types it's specced for; the practical limit is the cable's own breakdown voltage, not the connector's.

Frequently asked questions

Is 0734040710 compatible with RG-174 cable?

Yes, the 0734040710 is specced for RG-174, RG-188, and RG-316 cable groups. The crimp ferrule and center contact are sized for these small-diameter coax types.

What is the impedance of the Molex 0734040710?

The 0734040710 is a 50 Ohm SMB plug, rated to 4 GHz maximum frequency with 0.2 dB typical insertion loss.

How many mating cycles does the 0734040710 have?

Rated for 500 mating cycles. The gold-plated center contact and nickel-plated brass body wear predictably — at 500 cycles the gold flash on the contact is the limiting factor, not the shell.
