MMCX M RA CRIMP for RG178 Cable

Description

The MMCX (Micro-Miniature Coaxial) male right-angle connector is a specialized RF component valued for its space-saving geometry and 360-degree rotation capability. This variant features a Right Angle (RA) configuration, allowing the cable to exit parallel to the mating surface. This is critical for low-profile applications where vertical clearance is limited. It is specialized for the 1.8mm (0.071″) cable class, specifically optimized for high-performance RG178 and high-temperature RG196.

As a male interface (plug), it features a precision center pin and an internal snap-on sleeve designed for secure engagement with MMCX jacks. This connector utilizes a hex-crimp termination system for the outer conductor, providing a high-strength mechanical bond and excellent strain relief on the fragile, ultra-thin cable. Manufactured with a gold-plated brass body and premium PTFE (Teflon) insulation, it delivers consistent 50-Ohm performance and reliable operation up to 6 GHz, ensuring signal integrity in sophisticated telecommunications and IoT hardware.

Key Technical Advantages

• Low-Profile Right Angle Design: The 90-degree body reduces the vertical footprint of the connection, making it ideal for slim electronic enclosures and high-density PCB stacking.

• RG178 Precision Match: Specifically calibrated for the 0.071-inch OD cable family, ensuring a precise mechanical fit and optimized electrical transition for ultra-thin coaxial lines.

• Micro-Miniature Snap-On Interface: The snap-on coupling allows for tool-less mating and 360-degree rotation after installation to relieve mechanical stress on the cable.

• Secure Crimp Termination: The hex-crimp sleeve provides a robust grip on the cable braid, offering superior pull-off resistance and maximum EMI/RFI shielding for a micro-connector.

• Gold-Plated Durability: Features heavy gold plating on the body and center contact to ensure low contact resistance and long-term protection against corrosion.
