Original Press Release:
Secure Lock MHF I LK Micro Connector now available on GradConn Coaxial Cable Assemblies
GradConn further extends its coaxial cable assembly range by introducing the all new I-PEX MHF I LK micro connector. This option can now be specified on assemblies to connect antennas to wireless modules and other popular PCI card types.
The MHF I LK is perfect for applications that require a secure and reliable connection due to its integrated locking mechanism. This enhancement to standard MHF types solves potential issues from vibration and shock as the connection itself is more stable, particularly for a connector of this size.
A profile height of 2.9mm makes it lower than the standard I-PEX MHF I connector. Frequency is rated from DC to 6GHz and the connector has outside receptacle dimensions of 3.0x3.0mm.
The MHF I LK, when combined with GradConn Nautilus range of IP rated connectors - which includes SMA, TNC, BNC and N-Type connectors - on the assembly, provides a complete cable solution for devices in harsh environments.
“The IoT has contributed to a rise in products within wireless devices, mobile telecoms and GPS sectors. New and exciting applications are appearing that require coaxial connections in demanding conditions such as Agri-tech and smart waste management, all of which are taking full advantage of the features and specifications Nautilus has to offer," commented Andy Hamlin, Global Sales Manager at GradConn.
The MHF I LK connector joins the existing MMXC connector in the GradConn cable assembly range as another durable option for customers when connection integrity is important. The MHF I LK is a more compact solution than MMCX and will be more suitable for designs where internal space is limited.
