MCX

MCX connectors are designed for use in any wire-to-board application where quick and easy snap-on mating is needed; available in 50 and 75 Ohm and up to 6 GHz

MCX subminiature snap-on connectors offer a stable and durable connection. The subminiature design allows other electronic assemblies to be densely packaged on the PCB. MCX connectors are approximately 30% smaller than SMB connectors are, are available in both 50 and 75 Ohm versions and provide good electrical performance to 6 GHz. These connectors are used in telecommunications systems as well as wireless and GPS applications. For medical MRI applications, non-magnetic versions are available. Molex also provides multi-port MCX connectors for coplanar board-to-board and cable-to-board applications.
