MMCX Connectors
Compact snap-on RF connectors with broadband capability up to DC–6 GHz
Overview
Amphenol RF’s MMCX (Micro‑Miniature Coaxial) connectors are a streamlined version of MCX, offering reliable 50 Ω performance in space-constrained applications. With a quick snap-on design and rugged construction, these versatile connectors support broadband signals, ideal for modern RF systems.
Available in cable plugs, PCB jacks, right-angle, and panel-mount formats, MMCX connectors accommodate both standard and custom configurations. They conform to European CECC 22000 standards, ensuring consistent electrical performance and mechanical reliability.
