6 GHz U.FL Receptacle for RF Module Integration
The U.FL-R-SMT-1(40): This surface-mount connector uses a snap-on fastening mechanism for quick, tool-free mating with the corresponding U.FL plug on a cable assembly. The beige LCP housing and silver-plated phosphor bronze body are built for automated pick-and-place assembly, with the gold-plated brass center contact ensuring consistent signal transfer across its 30-cycle rated life. Typical applications include Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth antennas, GPS receivers, and other compact wireless devices where board space is tight and a low-profile RF interconnect is required.
What the 6 GHz and 50 Ohm Ratings Mean for Your RF Path
The 6 GHz frequency ceiling sets the usable bandwidth. The 30-cycle mating life is a deliberate trade-off for the ultra-compact package.
SMT Mounting and the Snap-On Interface
Surface-mount termination means this receptacle flows through a standard reflow oven alongside other SMD components, eliminating a hand-solder step. The snap-on fastening creates a positive mechanical lock with the mating U.FL plug — no threads, no bayonet, just a push-and-click engagement. The shield termination is soldered to the PCB ground plane, which ties the connector body to circuit ground and contains radiated emissions within the 6 GHz band.
