OSX(MCX) Microminiature
Snap-On Connectors Series
• Snap-on interface facilitates assembly
• Conforms to CECC interface specifications for MCX
• 30% smaller than SMB connectors
• Surface mount tape and reel for high volume
M/A-COM OSX microminiature snap-on connectors offer
an excellent blend of size, durability and performance for
emerging applications in GPS, automotive and wireless
communications. OSX connectors are 30% smaller than
traditional snap-on SMB connectors, offering greater
packaging density and weight reduction. OSX connectors
are mechanically robust with beryllium copper spring fingers
rated at a minimum of 500 mating cycles. The snap-on
interface facilitates assembly, eliminating the need for a
threaded connection, and ensuring full engagement. The
forces to engage and disengage have been optimized to
ensure ease of mating as well as to prevent damage to
PCB solder connections. OSX connectors are designed
for broad band performance, DC-6 GHz, and can be
utilized for future system upgrades without concerns for
performance degradation. M/A-COM OSX connectors are
fully mateable with standard MCX connectors and conform
to the CECC interface specifications.
