Product details

Coaxial Switch Receptacle with Internal Switch — 4mm Plug Diameter

The Hirose MS-156HF(20) is a coaxial switch receptacle from the MS-156HF series, designed as a female socket with a snap-on fastening type. Its defining feature is the integrated internal switch, which allows signal routing changes without an external relay — the switch opens or closes as the mating plug is inserted or removed. The connector style is specified as a coaxial switch with a 4mm plug diameter, meaning it mates with a 4mm-diameter plug (not a standard SMA or BNC). This is a single-port, surface-mount device with a gold-finished phosphor bronze body and a beryllium copper center contact plated in gold.

50 Ohm impedance, 6 GHz max frequency, 0.15 dB insertion loss.

The dielectric material is polyamide (nylon 6T), which handles the temperature range and provides stable RF performance.

Frequently asked questions

Is MS-156HF(20) compatible with standard SMA connectors?

No. The MS-156HF(20) is a coaxial switch with a 4mm plug diameter and snap-on fastening, not a threaded SMA interface. It mates with a 4mm-diameter plug, not an SMA connector. The connector style is specified as a coaxial switch with a 4mm plug diameter, so confirm the mating plug diameter before ordering.

Does MS-156HF(20) have an internal switch feature?

Yes, the MS-156HF(20) includes an internal switch. This allows the connector to route or interrupt the signal path when the mating plug is inserted or removed, without requiring an external relay or switch component.
