Molex RF/Microwave PCB Connectors

Molex Precision RF/Microwave PCB Connectors are designed for 40GHz analog signals. Introduced as a low-cost alternative to the 2.4mm version, the 2.92mm version features a unique compression-mount design using UNF screws and vertical launch configuration. The RF/microwave connectors deliver unparalleled design flexibility by allowing designers to create test points virtually anywhere on the PCB. Compatible with network analyzer cables, the RF/microwave connectors mate to 2.92mm male (plug) connectors commonly found on cable or adapters in test equipment.
