MCX-J-C-H-ST-CA1 — 50 Ohm MCX Jack for RG-174 and RG-316

The Samtec MCX-J-C-H-ST-CA1 is a 50 Ohm MCX jack, female socket, designed for free-hanging, in-line termination to RG-174 and RG-316 coaxial cables. The snap-on fastening provides quick, secure mating typical of the MCX interface, while the gold-plated brass body and gold center contact maintain signal integrity across the connection.

This jack is built for RG-174 and RG-316 cable — two common small-diameter coax types used in RF modules, antenna pigtails, and test leads. The PTFE dielectric material in the connector matches the cable's PTFE jacket, keeping the 50 Ohm impedance consistent through the termination.

Operating Range and Environment

The gold-over-copper-alloy center contact resists corrosion through repeated matings, and the snap-on coupling holds against moderate vibration without a threaded lock ring.
