The TE Connectivity 228217-1 is an SMB-series RF connector — a jack with a male pin contact, designed for 50 Ohm impedance and rated to 4 GHz with 0.3 dB insertion loss. It is a bulkhead-mount, front-side-nut style, terminated by crimping the center contact and shield. This connector ships as a 6-piece kit: the connector body, one contact, two ferrules, one lockwasher, and one nut — everything needed for a single cable termination.
Cable and termination
The 228217-1 is compatible with RG-174, RG-188, and RG-316 coaxial cables — common small-diameter 50 Ohm types used in RF interconnects. The center contact and shield are both crimp-terminated, which gives a consistent, repeatable mechanical and electrical connection. The snap-on fastening type mates with the corresponding SMB plug; 500 mating cycles are rated before the gold-over-nickel center contact plating begins to show wear.
No official direct replacement order code is provided by the manufacturer.
