Features and Benefits

Customers typically need to create drawings and assign resources to find a supplier to build cable assemblies for end products. Molex designs standard RF cable assemblies to provide a one-source solution. This eliminates the need to find another vendor to build assemblies.

Designers of consumer and medical wireless devices and smart systems meant for automotive applications face challenging conditions, such as vibration and space constraints. The Molex engineering team has the expertise to develop high-quality, standard cable assembly solutions that ensure reliability and performance. Molex standard RF portfolio includes cable assemblies with BNC, SMA, MCX, MMCX, MCRF and D-Sub connectors.

MHF 4L LK and MHF I LK Cable Assemblies

In continuous shock and vibration environments, robust mechanical connections are required for secure and reliable mating. Molex has a range of compact cable assemblies featuring a patented mechanical locking system for MHF® 4L LK and MHF® I LK plugs that are ideal for these applications. Molex offers standard assemblies on 1.13, 1.32 and 1.37mm cable-type options.
