RF Connectors for Reliable High-Frequency Performance

Among the smallest available 6 GHz RF connectors, MCRF and SSMCX ultra microminiature RF coaxial connectors deliver high-frequency performance up to 6 GHz, making them ideal for compact and space-constrained applications. These connectors provide reliable connectivity and high-precision performance for compact devices.

Microminiature RF connectors provide compact and ultrahigh-frequency solutions for devices subject to moderate size constraints. Precision-engineered MMCX, MCX, SMP and SMPM connectors support frequencies up to 65 GHz, depending on the connector type, while rugged SMP-MAX connectors provide durable performance up to 6 GHz for harsh-duty applications.

Engineered for small form factors and high-frequency, high-precision performance up to 26.5 GHz, subminiature RF connectors deliver reliable and compact solutions for a wide range of applications. The versatile subminiature portfolio includes automotive-grade FAKRA, rugged DIN 1.0/2.3 and versatile SMA connectors.

Precision microminiature RF connectors deliver ultra-high-frequency performance from 40 to 110 GHz, supporting stable and accurate signal transmission in demanding applications. The portfolio includes high-accuracy 1.0, 1.85, 2.4 and 2.92mm connectors along with precision SMA connectors.

Designed for diverse applications, standard miniature RF connectors such as 2.2-5, BNC and TNC types deliver robust signal integrity and reliable performance for frequencies from 4 to 11 GHz.

Combining compact size, high performance and exceptional durability, medium-sized RF solutions such as 4.3-10 and Type N connectors provide reliable operation at frequencies up to 12 GHz, making them ideal for demanding or harsh-duty applications.

Robust and reliable DIN 7/16 high-power RF connectors are engineered for durability and stability in rugged environments and power-intensive applications up to 8.3 GHz.

RF engineers need to balance size, performance and integration requirements when selecting connectors. Electrical characteristics such as impedance, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) requirements, frequency and power-handling capability must be matched to maintain optimal signal integrity. Minimizing passive intermodulation (PIM), insertion loss and reflection also is crucial to maintaining signal integrity. RF connectors used in demanding aerospace, defense, telecommunications or industrial applications may also require robust, sealed construction to withstand harsh conditions.

Offering a broad portfolio of solutions, Molex RF connectors are designed to meet a wide range of frequency, impedance, VSWR and power-handling needs. Precision engineering minimizes signal loss, reflections and PIM, enabling clean signal transmission at high frequencies and in high-precision applications. A large selection of interfaces and connector types simplifies integration and enables backward-compatible solutions that accelerate development cycles, minimize redesign time and support miniaturization. Robust and durable low-loss RF connectors, including rugged, sealed and miniature RF connector options with IP67 ratings, maintain high performance and reduce maintenance needs in demanding environments.
