RF Connector Overview Guide Linx Technologies offers a wide variety of SMA, MCX, MMCX and MHF radio frequency connector and cable assemblies. RF connectors and cables consist of miniature precision-machined mechanical components and clever designs with complex assembly which are necessary to minimize losses and reflections. This requries tight tolerances, quality surface finishing and proper choice of metals and insulators. By combining domestic design and quality with offshore connector manufacturing, Linx offers low loss connectors at very competitive prices for OEM customers. –1– Revised 2/19/15 SMA Connectors SMA (subminiature version A) connectors are high performance coaxial RF connectors with 50-ohm matching and excellent electrical performance up to 18GHz with insertion loss as low as 0.17dB. They also have high mechanical strength through their thread coupling. This coupling minimizes reflections and attenuation by ensuring uniform contact. SMA connectors are among the most popular connector type for OEMs as they offer high durability, low VSWR and a variety of antenna mating choices. In order to comply with FCC Part 15 requirements for non-standard antenna connectors, SMA connectors are also available in reverse polarity (RP-SMA).

The outer diameter of the plug is approximately 2.6 mm or 0.140 inch. Linx MCX connectors are available at 50-ohms and operate up to 6GHz at less than 0.2dB insertion loss. Their small size and snap-on connection is ideal for dense packaging such as those in consumer products, GPS and automotive application. MMCX (micro-miniature coaxial) connectors are similar to the MCX but smaller and approximately one third lighter. MMCX connectors are matched to 50-ohms and operate up to 6GHz with less than 0.3dB insertion loss. The connectors have a snap locking mechanism which allows 360° rotation. Because of their small size, MMCX connectors are popular in consumer products, PCS devices and GPS applications.

Unlike digital cables, a small deviation from the ideal attachment may yield key parameters that are out of specification. Prudent customers often buy pre-built cables from Linx to benefit from Linx’s quality systems, fixtures and RF expertise. In-house cable finishing allows Linx to quickly deliver a variety of cable lengths and connector combinations. Linx Technologies Headquarters Linx corporate headquarters are located in a beautiful custom-built facility in Merlin, Oregon, which is in the Rogue Valley near Grants Pass and the Rogue River.

Values may vary from lot-to-lot and are not guaranteed. “Typical” parameters can and do vary over lots and application. Linx Technologies makes no guarantee, warranty, or representation regarding the suitability of any product for use in any specific application. It is Customer’s responsibility to verify the suitability of the part for the intended application. At Customer’s request, Linx Technologies may provide advice and assistance in designing systems and remote control devices that employ Linx Technologies RF products, but responsibility for the ultimate design and use of any such systems and devices remains entirely with Customer and/or user of the RF products. Some customers may want Linx radio frequency (“RF”) products to control machinery or devices remotely, including machinery or devices that can cause death, bodily injuries, and/or property damage if improperly or inadvertently triggered, particularly in industrial settings or other applications implicating life-safety concerns (“Life and Property Safety Situations”). NO OEM LINX REMOTE CONTROL OR FUNCTION MODULE SHOULD EVER BE USED IN LIFE AND PROPERTY SAFETY SITUATIONS. No OEM Linx Remote Control or Function Module should be modified for Life and Property Safety Situations. Such modification cannot provide sufficient safety and will void the product’s regulatory certification and warranty. Customers may use our (non-Function) Modules, Antenna and Connectors as part of other systems in Life Safety Situations, but only with necessary and industry appropriate redundancies and in compliance with applicable safety standards, including without limitation, ANSI and NFPA standards.
