The PTFE dielectric keeps phase stable across the full -65°C to 165°C operating range, which matters when this connector lives near a hot PA or in an outdoor enclosure that sees thermal cycling. 500 mating cycles on the gold-over-beryllium copper center contact means this jack can handle field-service reconnects — a bench tester or a panel-access port that gets unplugged weekly won't wear it out in a year.
Sourcing Reality — Obsolete Status
For a BOM that already specifies this exact jack, the channel is surplus or broker inventory, sourced per RFQ.
Fit and Termination Details
Through-hole mounting with solder termination on both the center pin and the shield — the shield ring solders to the ground plane, which is what keeps the 50 Ohm launch clean up to 6 GHz.
