The TE Connectivity 1470512-1 is an MCX jack, female socket, built for 50 Ohm RF signal paths up to 6 GHz. It's a snap-on coupling connector — the quick-mate interface common on compact RF modules, test points, and antenna ports where board space is tight and you need a positive lock without threads.
What's the lifecycle and sourcing situation?
This part is obsolete per the manufacturer. There is no listed direct successor in the evidence.
RF performance and mating details
Insertion loss is specified at 0.1 dB, a tight figure that holds up through the 6 GHz band when mated with the correct MCX plug. The voltage rating is 335 V.
What does it mate with?
The snap-on coupling is the defining feature — push to engage, pull to disengage. No threading, no torque wrench. It is not compatible with SMA connectors; the MCX interface is smaller in diameter and uses a different locking mechanism. The kit includes the insulator that positions the centre contact inside the body — follow the assembly drawing for orientation.
