10-32 Microdot Jack RF Connector for RG316 – Crimp

Product Description Part Number: 10-32Jack-RG316 Connector Type: 10-32 Microdot (Series S-50) compatible Gender: Jack (female – mates with plug) Mount Style: Inline / Cable mount Termination: Crimp Cable Compatibility: RG316, RG188, RG174, RG179 (approx. 3.9mm ID) Impedance: 50Ω New Stock Due February 2026 This coaxial connector 10-32 Microdot jack RG316 is designed for fabricating sensor cables, extension leads, and test assemblies. The inline cable-mount design with crimp termination allows quick and reliable assembly of accelerometer cables, vibration monitoring leads, and NDT probe connections. Alternative Designations The 10-32 Microdot connector is known by several names across different markets: 10-32 UNF – Thread specification (common in US) M5 Microdot – Metric approximation L5 – Chinese/Asian market designation Series S-50 – Formal industry standard name Jack vs Plug Identification In 10-32 Microdot connectors: Jack (this connector): Female outer thread female inner contact (socket) – mates with sensor outputs Plug: Male outer thread male inner contact (pin) – typically on instrument inputs Most accelerometers and vibration sensors have integral plugs, so the jack is used on the cable side to connect to the sensor. Technical Specifications Thread: 10-32 UNF Impedance: 50Ω Frequency Range: DC to 2 GHz Termination: Crimp Cable Compatibility: RG316, RG188, RG174, RG179 Cable Inner Diameter: Approx. 3.9mm Typical Applications Accelerometer and vibration sensor cable assemblies IEPE/ICP transducer connections NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) equipment cables Ultrasonic flaw detector probe leads Acoustic sensor and microphone interfaces Pressure sensor instrumentation Laboratory and test equipment cabling Industrial condition monitoring systems Cable Selection Guide This connector accepts cables with approximately 3.9mm inner diameter: RG316 – PTFE insulation, good temperature range, low loss RG188 – PTFE insulation, similar to RG316 RG174 – PVC insulation, economical, flexible RG179 – PTFE insulation, 75Ω version available (verify impedance) Download Assembly Instructions For bulkhead mount versions, plugs, and adapters, see our full range of 10-32 Microdot connectors.
