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.
