MCX Receptacle for 50 Ohm RF Paths
The TE Connectivity 1061001-1 is an MCX receptacle, female socket, designed for 50 Ohm impedance RF interconnects. It is a single-port, surface-mount connector with a snap-on fastening mechanism, rated to 6 GHz with a typical insertion loss of 0.1 dB. The gold-plated brass body and beryllium copper centre contact with gold plating provide a corrosion-resistant signal path suited for repeated mating cycles — rated at 500 cycles.
SMT Termination and Board Fit
This connector terminates via solder for both the centre contact and the shield, and is specified for surface-mount assembly. The SMT footprint keeps the connector low-profile on the board, though the snap-on mating style means the receptacle must be accessible for axial engagement and disengagement.
Obsolete — Sourcing via Surplus Channel
The 1061001-1 is listed as Obsolete by TE Connectivity. For BOM lines that still specify this part, the only sourcing path is the surplus and broker market. Engineers should verify the footprint and electrical requirements against a current-production MCX receptacle from the same or alternative manufacturer before committing a new design.
