The TE 414363-5 is a 50 Ohm SMB plug with a female socket contact, built for field termination onto RG-174, RG-188, or RG-316 coaxial cable. It ships as a three-piece kit — the connector body, a crimp ferrule, and an end cap — so you're not hunting for loose parts when you're building a cable assembly at the bench or in the truck. The snap-on fastening gives you a quick mate and unmated cycle for test leads or panel jumpers where you don't want to spin a coupling nut each time. Right-angle exit keeps the cable routed flat against the panel face, which matters when you're tucking a coax run into a tight enclosure corner.
Signal path and frequency ceiling
Rated to 3 GHz with 0.6 dB insertion loss, this plug covers the L-band and S-band allocations used in GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular test fixtures. The beryllium copper centre contact with gold plating keeps the signal path stable over those 500 mating cycles; gold on the mating side resists corrosion better than tin when the connector lives in a humid cabinet or gets handled frequently.
Cable prep and termination
Designed for RG-174, RG-188, and RG-316 — the three most common small-diameter 50 Ohm coax cables in RF patch cords and pigtails. The centre contact is solder-terminated; the shield is crimped through the ferrule. That combination gives you a reliable electrical bond on the braid without overheating the dielectric during soldering. The kit includes the ferrule and end cap, so you only need to supply the cable and a crimp tool with the correct die for the RG cable OD.
