RF Launch at the Board Edge
The 920-508J-53P: This is the RF interconnect that bridges the transmission line on the PCB edge to a push-pull mated cable assembly. The 6 GHz maximum frequency and 0.1 dB insertion loss place it in the high-signal-integrity class for this connector style, with the PTFE dielectric maintaining consistent impedance through the launch.
Signal Path and Frequency Ceiling
Rated to 6 GHz, this plug covers the sub-6 GHz bands used in 5G NR, Wi-Fi 6E, and LTE infrastructure. The gold-plated brass centre contact and nickel-plated brass body provide the corrosion resistance and conductivity needed for repeated field connections.
Mechanical Fit and Mating
This is the plug (male pin) half of the HD-EFI interface. It mates with standard HD-EFI receptacles using the push-pull fastening mechanism — no threads, no bayonet, just a straight push to engage and a pull to release. The 200 mating cycles are adequate for test equipment, panel-mount patch bays, and field-serviceable gear where the connector sees periodic reconnection. The smooth bore feature reduces snagging during cable routing.
Rated for -45°C to 125°C operating temperature, this connector handles outdoor telecom cabinets, industrial enclosures, and under-hood automotive test harnesses without derating. The PTFE dielectric holds its dielectric constant across that range, so the impedance stays stable. The nickel body finish resists oxidation in humid or mildly corrosive environments.
