SMP Jack for 40 GHz Signal Paths
The Molex 0734155035 is an SMP jack from the 73415 series, built for RF interconnect up to 40 GHz. It's a 50 Ohm female socket with a snap-on fastening — the blind-mate interface that SMP is known for, giving you a quick connect/disconnect without threads. The gold-plated brass body and beryllium copper center contact keep signal loss low through the GHz range. This jack is terminated by crimping both the center conductor and the shield, and it's specified for RG-316 cable, so the dielectric diameter and braid lay are a match for the crimp barrel dimensions.
The cable group is RG-316 — that's a 50 Ohm coax with a PTFE dielectric and silver-plated copper braid, common in test leads and microwave assemblies. The crimp termination covers both the braid shield and the center conductor, so you need the correct crimp die set for RG-316 dimensions. The dielectric material inside the jack is PTFE, matching the cable dielectric for a consistent impedance transition through the joint.
Right-Angle Free-Hanging Mount
This is a free-hanging (in-line) right-angle jack — the cable exits at 90 degrees to the mating axis. That's useful when you need to route the coax tight against a panel or chassis wall without a bulkhead feedthrough. The snap-on retention means the mating half clicks in and holds without a coupling nut, so the right-angle body doesn't add torque leverage that could stress a threaded interface.
