It comes as a field-installable kit including the connector body, end cap, ferrule, and insulator — everything needed to terminate a cable in one package. The right-angle, free-hanging (in-line) orientation makes it practical for tight spaces where a straight plug won't fit.
Cable and RF Specs
This plug is specified for RG-178B coax — a 50 Ohm cable with a solid or stranded centre conductor small enough for the MCX interface. Insertion loss is 0.2 dB, and.
The body is brass with gold finish, the centre pin is brass with gold plating — good corrosion resistance and low contact resistance for RF paths. The snap-on coupling locks positively without threads, which speeds up mating in production or field work. Gold plating on the mating surfaces supports the 500-cycle rating without signal degradation.
If you're planning a new design, look at current MCX connectors from TE's Greenpar or other series that match the 50 Ohm, snap-on, right-angle form factor.
