SMP Jack-to-Jack Adapter — Same-Series RF Interconnect
The Molex 0734060114 is an SMP to SMP adapter from the 73406 series, configured as a jack-to-jack (female-to-female) in-line coupler. Both ends carry a snap-on fastening type, so the mating action is a push-and-click engagement — no threaded coupling, no tool required. This is a same-series conversion adapter: it joins two SMP male plugs end-to-end, extending an RF path or acting as a bulkhead feed-through without changing the interface.
What the Snap-On Fastening Means for the RF Line
Snap-on retention on both ends means the adapter holds the mated pair with a spring-loaded detent, not a threaded collar. That gives quick connect/disconnect for test setups or modular RF modules where you swap cables frequently. The trade-off is lower axial pull-out force compared to a threaded SMPM or SMA — fine for a stationary board-level interconnect, but not for a cable that gets yanked. The female-to-female centre gender means the signal path passes through a continuous inner conductor bore; the adapter body carries the shield continuity.
