RF Interconnect for 1 GHz Signal Paths
It covers DC to 1 GHz, with a PTFE dielectric maintaining stable impedance across the band.
3000 Mating Cycles — Field-Service Duty
The 3000-cycle rating on this snap-on receptacle is well above the 500-cycle typical of MMCX connectors. The gold-over-beryllium copper center contact resists fretting corrosion over those cycles, keeping contact resistance stable.
1 GHz Ceiling vs MMCX Alternatives
The MSS-R-PC(40) is rated to 1 GHz maximum frequency, while the MMCX-R-PC(40) sibling from the same Hirose catalog runs to 6 GHz. Both are 50 Ohm snap-on receptacles with gold-plated brass bodies and PTFE dielectric, but the MSS series trades frequency headroom for a higher mating-cycle count — 3000 cycles versus 500. If your signal stays under 1 GHz and the connector will be cycled often, the MSS-R-PC(40) covers the job without over-specifying bandwidth you do not need.
