28 pages of possibilities here: http://search.digikey.com/us/en/cat/connectors-interconnects/coaxial-rf/1442171?k=pcb rf connector
Re: RF connector-what is it? Where can I buy some?
Might be an MMCX connector. Select MMCX and have a look: http://search.digikey.com/us/en/cat/connectors-interconnects/coaxial-rf/1442171?k=rf connector

Shure won't tell you what it is and/or sell you the part?

Shure finally got back to me today. They called it a "Rocket" socket. I think they will sell it to me. I have a feeling it's a custom product made for Shure by an OEM.

Is it put on the board by a rocket socket robot?

And no Harry - I still haven't find out what they're called. I've got a few more inquiries to make when I return to the office.
"Rocket" is Shure's in house designation; it's not an industry recognized name like "BNC", "N", "SMA", etc, and it's not specially made. That interconnect is used in many products, HME System 800 and Icom radios are where I've seen them.

So, it's designed to be terminated on RG58? 50 Ohm?

No, more likely RG-179U or RG-317 or their 75 Ohm equivalents.

Re: RF connector-what is it? Where can I buy some?
RG-174 or RG-316 are the 50 ohm variants.
RG-179 is 75 ohms. RG-317 is 95 ohms.

Haha yeah thanks, I just grabbed some cables with that connector on them and read the labels.

Is it this:http://www.hirose.co.jp/cataloge_hp/e35801505.pdf Though it could be an FME (can't tell by the photo)

Re: RF connector-what is it? Where can I buy some?
Nope. Not FME. The connector in question resembles a miniature version of the old Motorola FM radio connector used in car radios (if you're old enough to remember those).
