Board-Edge RF Interconnect for Dense Signal Routing
The Amphenol RF 920-507J-52P is a female jack from the HD-EFI series, designed for board-edge, end-launch mounting. The push-pull fastening with a limited detent gives tactile mate confirmation while keeping the footprint compact — suited for blind-mate panel or module interfaces where a full screw-lock is too bulky. Rated for 50 mating cycles, this is a reconnect-duty connector for test points, module change-out, or field-serviceable RF boards — not a permanent-install crimp-and-forget part.
End-Launch Footprint and Termination
The end-launch geometry means the RF trace must route to the edge with a controlled 50 Ohm impedance through the launch — the pad pattern and ground-plane clearance follow the manufacturer's recommended footprint. The shield termination is solder, so the ground connection is made at the board edge, not through a separate ground pin.
