The TE Connectivity MCX microminiature
snap-on connectors offer an
excellent blend of size,
durability and performance
for emerging applications in
GPS, automotive and wireless
communications. MCX
connectors are 30% smaller
than traditional snap-on
SMB connectors, offering
greater packaging density
and weight reduction. MCX
connectors are mechanically
robust with beryllium copper
spring fingers rated at a
minimum of 500 mating
cycles. The snap-on interface
facilitates assembly,
eliminating the need for a
threaded connection, and
ensuring full engagement.
The forces to engage and
disengage have been optimized
to ensure ease of
mating as well as to prevent
damage to PCB solder connections.
MCX connectors
are designed for broad
band performance, DC-6
GHz, and can be utilized for
future system upgrades
without concerns for performance
degradation. Our
MCX connectors are fully
mateable with standard
MCX connectors and conform
to the CECC interface
specifications.
MCX connectors are available
in a broad range of
standard configurations for
commercial applications.
Tape and reel packaging
for MCX surface mount
straight and right angle PCB
receptacles is available to
facilitate high volume pick
and place manufacturing.
MCX surface mount connectors
are designed to
withstand infrared reflow,
convection and vapor
phase soldering and provide
a .254 [.010] standoff
for optimal board cleaning.
MCX plug and jack PCB
receptacles also offer a
direct board to board solution
providing a nominal
7.11 [0.28] separation.
