The MCX Male Right Angle Connector for RG178 Cable is a small, rugged RF connector that is ideal for use in applications where space is limited. By connecting at a 90 degree angle to the end of the RG178 cable, the connector can be routed around the edges of PCBs, within equipment housings and around other components to keep the cable neat and to relieve strain on the cable. The connector is designed for use in 50 ohm systems and is ideal for use with GPS and GNSS modules as well as Wi-Fi and ISM band radios. Other applications for the connector include test equipment and other communication equipment that uses RF signals. The Male MCX connector uses a snap-on type coupling that is easy to connect and disconnect while ensuring that the connector remains securely in place. The body of the connector is typically made from a metal material that has been corrosion resistant plated, while the center contact is made from a highly conductive material to ensure the best signal transfer. The dielectric insulation is precision formed to ensure that the inner and outer conductors are correctly aligned to maintain the impedance of the cable and to prevent reflections. A right angle style connector is particularly useful in applications where there is limited vertical height available or where straight connectors would otherwise interfere with other components. The MCX Male Right Angle Connector for RG178 Cable is suitable for use in a wide range of applications and is ideal for use in the lab as well as in the field. It is used by engineers and technicians to connect up RF circuits and to create custom RF harnesses. It can also be used to repair existing communication equipment as well as to build small form factor devices that require RF signals to be connected. The connector is easy to use and provides a robust and reliable connection that is suitable for a wide range of applications.
