It terminates via solder for the centre contact and a crimp for the shield braid, suiting field-terminated cable assemblies on RG-174, RG-179, RG-187, RG-188, and RG-316 cable groups.
Rated to 6 GHz with a 50 Ohm characteristic impedance and 0.1 dB insertion loss, this plug supports L-band through lower microwave frequencies — think GPS, ISM-band radios, or cellular infrastructure up to 6 GHz. The PTFE dielectric keeps the impedance stable across the -65°C to 165°C operating range, and the gold-plated centre contact resists corrosion over the 500-cycle mating life. The nickel-plated brass body provides the shield path; the crimp termination on the braid is what actually bonds the cable shield to the connector shell, so the crimp die selection matters for consistent RF performance.
No official successor order code is on record. Buyers should verify the cable group and termination method against their assembly process before committing.
This is the plug (male pin) half of an MCX snap-on pair. It mates with any standard MCX jack (female socket) receptacle or bulkhead mount. The package includes the connector body and a separate end cap — two pieces total.
