It handles signals up to 18 GHz with a 335 V voltage rating, and the gold-plated center contact on a copper alloy base keeps contact resistance low across 500 mating cycles. This is a field-terminable design: the shield crimps onto the cable braid, and the center contact solders to the conductor.
If your design can tolerate a parametric alternative, a current-production SMA plug with the same 50 Ohm impedance, 18 GHz bandwidth, and RG-178/196 cable compatibility would be the practical swap, but there is no pin-compatible drop-in from TE Connectivity on record.
Mates with any standard SMA jack (female) having a threaded coupling nut — the interface per MIL-STD-348 or IEC 60169-15. The free-hanging, in-line body suits panel feed-through or cable-to-cable links where the connector is not board-mounted. The 500-cycle rating means it holds up in test jigs or field-service connections that see regular reconnects, though the gold plating on the center contact is the real durability driver there.
