The TE Connectivity 226600-1 is a UHF Mini plug, male pin connector — a threaded, free-hanging (in-line) coax plug designed for RG-58, 58A, 58B, and 58C cable. The nickel body finish and silver housing colour are standard for this series; the centre contact is tin-plated.
This connector is built for the RG-58 cable family (RG-58, 58A, 58B, 58C) — the most common 50-ohm-ish coax for short-run RF and data links. Both the shield and the centre conductor are crimp-terminated: the shield crimp uses the included ferrule, and the centre pin crimps onto the stripped conductor. The polypropylene dielectric matches the cable's dielectric, keeping the impedance non-constant but adequate for the 2 GHz band. For a field-service technician, the three-piece kit means no separate ferrule or collar to order — one line item covers the full termination hardware.
Electrical and Mechanical Ratings
The 226600-1 carries a 335 V voltage rating — higher than a typical BNC at this size, so it suits low-power RF or signal paths where voltage headroom matters more than current. The 2 GHz frequency ceiling is the practical upper limit; above that the non-constant impedance and tin-plated centre contact introduce loss and reflection. The 500 mating cycle rating is solid for a threaded connector — the nickel body and threads hold up to repeated connect-disconnect cycles in test equipment or portable gear.
