It comes as a three-piece kit: the connector body, a rear-side mounting nut, and a separate solder tag for shield termination. The gold-plated phosphor bronze centre contact handles repeated mating — rated for 500 cycles — without significant signal degradation. Extended insulation on the dielectric adds creepage distance for the 500 V rating, making this jack a solid choice for test equipment, instrumentation, and RF distribution panels where voltage standoff matters alongside RF performance.
Mounting and shield termination — what the kit includes
This jack mounts through a bulkhead panel using the included rear-side nut, which secures the connector from the back side — typical for front-panel installations where the connector face is accessible from the front. The shield is terminated via the separate solder tag: you solder the cable braid to the tag, then attach the tag to the connector body. This method gives a clean, low-inductance ground path for the shield current, important for maintaining the 50 Ohm impedance up to 4 GHz.
Operating range and materials
The dielectric is PBT, a stable thermoplastic that holds its electrical properties across the temperature range. The connector is supplied in bulk packaging, so expect loose pieces rather than tape-and-reel.
