Technical Details & Performance

This RF Coaxial Connector supports a broad operational bandwidth from DC up to 6 GHz, making it suitable for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, LTE, and 5G mmWave systems. With low insertion loss and exceptional VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio), it maintains signal fidelity even under high data rate conditions. The male-female configuration allows flexible interconnection between different PCB sections or external cables without requiring specialized adapters. Its rugged construction withstands mechanical stress, temperature fluctuations, and repeated mating cycles—critical for industrial, military, and automotive-grade deployments.

Applications Across Industries

Commonly used in telecommunications infrastructure, embedded wireless modules, radar sensors, satellite communications, and consumer gadgets such as smart wearables and drones, this Mcx Connector excels where reliability and miniaturization matter most. It's also widely adopted in automotive telematics units, medical imaging equipment, and test instrumentation due to its consistent RF behavior and ease of integration.

Why Customers Choose This Connector

Users appreciate how this design balances performance, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness. Unlike traditional SMA connectors, the MCX variant is smaller yet equally reliable, enabling higher component density on PCBs. Engineers report fewer signal losses during prototyping and production phases, especially when working with millimeter-wave signals. Additionally, the gold-plated contacts reduce contact resistance over time, ensuring longevity even in harsh environmental conditions like humidity, vibration, or thermal cycling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this connector compatible with standard MCX cables? Yes, it follows the IEC 61169-17 specification, allowing seamless pairing with common MCX-style coaxial cables used in RF systems.

Can it be soldered manually or only via reflow ovens? Both surface-mount and through-hole versions support manual soldering techniques as well as automated SMT processes.

What makes it better than other miniature RF connectors? Compared to SMB or TNC types, the MCX offers superior frequency response, reduced size, and a more secure locking mechanism without sacrificing ease of use.

Does it support multiple mating cycles? Yes, tested for over 500 mating/unmating operations with minimal degradation in return loss or insertion loss.
