MMCX RF Interconnect — Board-Edge Launch
The snap-on fastening gives you a quick, tool-less mate with the matching MMCX male plug on a cable assembly — no coupling nut to torque, just push until it clicks. Rated to 6 GHz, this jack covers common RF bands including cellular (LTE/5G sub-6), GPS, Wi-Fi 6E, and ISM applications. The 500-cycle mating life is a solid middle ground: enough for field-serviceable modules and test points, but not for a production test fixture that sees thousands of connects a day.
The signal pin and shield legs solder directly to the board — no through-hole posts, so you save the drill step and get a cleaner ground plane underneath. The shield termination is solder, so the ground return path is solid across the full frequency range. The 170 V rating is fine for the RF bias tee and DC blocking cap on the line, but this is a signal-path connector, not a power interconnect.
Temperature Range and Durability
The -55°C to 155°C operating range covers military thermal cycling and outdoor telecom cabinet swings — the dielectric and contact materials are selected to hold impedance through the temperature extremes. The 500-cycle rating means the gold-over-nickel plating on the female socket will survive repeated field swaps without fretting corrosion, as long as you're not cycling it daily on a test bench.
