MCX series connectors utilize a snap coupling and is suitable for use up to 6 GHz. The impedance is controlled at 50 ohms. Connector designs are available for flexible, conformable and semi-rigid cables. Styles are available for mounting to printed circuit boards using thru-hole soldering, press-fit and surface mount technology (SMD). Solder and crimp techniques are used to terminate this series to cables. Typical applications include small instruments and communication equipment.
