Coupling Mechanism

Microdot S-50 is a proprietary coaxial connector interface developed by Microdot (now Tyco Electronics). While Microdot manufactured a range of connectors, the screw-on S-50 design was the only to gain relative popularity. The connector features a compact form factor using a 10-32 (0.190-32 UNF2B) thread, and performance up to 2 GHz.

As the connector is not industry standard its usage is limited. The connector can be found in a range of small low frequency electronic devices such as accelerometers, sensors, and small microphones.
