The Molex 0734156181 is a 50 Ohm SMP plug, male pin, single-port surface-mount connector from the 73415 series. It is rated for DC to 40 GHz operation — the full SMP interface bandwidth — with a snap-on blind-mate coupling that suits dense RF board-to-board or cable-to-board interconnects where axial engagement is constrained. The gold-plated brass body and gold centre contact maintain signal integrity across that frequency span. A pick and place cap is fitted for automated SMT assembly.
RF performance and interface
The 50 Ohm impedance and 40 GHz maximum frequency define the usable bandwidth — this is a full-band SMP interface, not a reduced-range variant. The snap-on fastening provides positive retention without a threaded coupling nut, which saves board-edge clearance in multi-port arrays.
SMT assembly and packaging
Surface-mount termination with solder shield termination — the outer conductor solders directly to the PCB ground plane, which controls the RF return path. The pick and place cap allows vacuum-nozzle handling without contacting the centre pin or damaging the interface.
