The MCX Female Edge PCB Mount connector is a durable RF interface for engineers that need the interface in a small space. This connector is mounted on the edge of the PCB and allows for short and controlled RF paths. The connector has a 50 Ohm characteristic impedance and is suitable for low power wireless, IoT, test equipment and communication equipment. MCX connectors are a compact alternative to bigger families of connectors and are ideal for space restricted applications. The contacts are gold plated and the precision machined body gives low contact resistance, stable electrical characteristics and good corrosion resistance. The connector has strong solder tabs and a defined footprint to give good mechanical stability to the connector when mounted on the edge of a PCB. With proper mounting the MCX Female Edge PCB Mount connector gives a solid and repeatable connection that can handle normal handling, cable pull and minor mechanical stress. The connector is easy to install by aligning the connector with the edge of the PCB and then soldering the ground tabs and center pin. After that the MCX Female Edge PCB Mount connector is ready for use with any MCX male plug or cable. The MCX Female Edge PCB Mount connector is ideal for prototyping as well as for production PCB’s.
