MMCX Connectors

MMCX Connectors, designed for compact and lightweight integration in telecommunications and consumer electronics, feature a unique snap-on interface which ensures mechanical stability without compromising the device’s form factor. The MMCX Power-over-Coax (PoC) Connectors are engineered for dynamic environments and feature a full-locking mating mechanism with zero gap and a non-snap ring design. These features provide stable and reliable ground (GND) connections for applications where continuous GND continuity is crucial. With a robust positive GND connection and a full-locking mating mechanism, this connector guarantees stable performance and secure connections, even under mechanical stress, while facilitating efficient power delivery.
