6 GHz MMCX Jack, 50 Ohm, SMT — What This Spec Means for the RF Path
The Amphenol RF 908-22116 is an MMCX jack, female socket, rated to 6 GHz with a 50 Ohm characteristic impedance — the standard for RF test, telecom, and wireless module interconnects. The 6 GHz ceiling covers the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ISM bands plus most cellular and GPS frequencies, so the connector does not limit the signal path within those bands. The snap-on fastening type gives a quick, positive mate without a coupling nut, which saves board-edge space compared to an SMA. Surface-mount termination suits automated pick-and-place assembly and keeps the RF launch consistent with the PCB trace impedance.
