Range of high-frequency coaxial connectors for antenna cables expanded

Würth Elektronik has introduced additional coaxial connectors for 50Ω cables of types 1.13mm, 1.32mm, and 1.37mm. The plugs and receptacles, suitable for use in equipment such as wireless communication devices, GPS systems, and IoT devices, provide gold-plated contacts and have passed a 48-hour salt spray test. The easy-to-install connectors WR-SMA, WR-SMB, WR-MCX and WR-MMCX are now available.

WR-SMA Right-Angle Bulkhead Jack Cable Connector: The right-angle receptacle for applications up to 6GHz features a space-saving design and reduced cable strain. The new model in the WR-SMA series for crimp assembly is also available in an IP67-rated version.

The WR-SMB Straight Plug Cable Connector is similar in size to the SMA version but is straight and features a snap-lock mechanism. The connector for applications up to 4GHz is suited for applications such as test equipment that require repeated mating cycles.

The WR-MCX Straight and Right-Angle Plug Cable Connectors feature a snap-lock mechanism and are suitable for applications up to 6 GHz. The connectors occupy very little space and remain rotatable, providing added flexibility for the right-angle plug connectors. The connectors have been tested for at least 500 mating cycles. WR-MCX has a connector diameter of 4.5mm, while the WR-MMCX version has an even smaller diameter of just 3.5mm. The smaller connector also needs less force for mating and unmating.
