The Molex 0734153741 is an SMP series jack, female socket, designed for free-hanging (in-line) use with RG-405 (.086 inch semi-rigid) cable. The SMP interface is a blind-mate, push-on connector standard used extensively in microwave and millimeter-wave assemblies where board-to-board or cable-to-board connections need quick, repeatable mating without threads. Rated to 40 GHz with a 50 Ohm impedance, this jack handles the full Ku, K, and Ka bands. The gold-plated beryllium copper body and center contact resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity across the rated -65°C to 155°C operating range.
This SMP jack is built for RG-405 (.086 inch) semi-rigid cable — the standard hardline for microwave modules and test fixtures. The shield termination is soldered to the body; the center contact solders to the cable's center conductor. The package includes one connector body and one contact.
Mates with any standard SMP plug (male pin) using a snap-on fastening mechanism. The snap-on retention gives a positive detent feel when fully seated — no torque wrench, no thread engagement check. For applications needing higher vibration resistance, an optional snap-on bullet or full-detent SMP plug can be used; the jack itself is the female half. The single-port design suits point-to-point RF links.
